didn't get a chance to start running until after 5pm and i was hoping to do 20 today. unfortunately that didn't quite happen. i went to huntington and my right tendon was tight to begin with but loosened up as usual. i didn't feel that slow but apparently according to the gps was. at 2.2 miles the watch lost sat connection and then found it again who knows when later only to lose it again. nothing more frustrating than not knowing how far you go for your long run. i ended up seeing some wildlife today. i saw a box turtle (i think) 3rd turtle of the year, a fox, and then a HUGE water snake! 8th snake of the year and 4th water snake. i can safely say this thing was massive. easily the largest snake i've seen on the east coast. it must have been 3.5 ft long and was very thick. so gross. luckily it slithered off the bridge i had to cross and i didn't have to throw stuff at it or make a run by it. the watch ended up reading 15.3 after reseting it. so at least 17.5 was recorded. i estimate 18.3 miles and about 3hrs 10 mins. left shin acted up then went away. stomach was unsettled after eating way too much pizza for lunch before the run at bertuccis. at least i don't feel fat now anymore :)

ran with brother at huntington. we sprinted on this mtn bike trail multiple times until exhaustion. it was quite fun and exhilarating at times. we never managed to sprint more than 0.15 miles at a time.

ran whortleberry road with my brothers and went all out up the hill which is 1/4 mile. did it in 1:29, brother was with me for the first 0.15 miles when he broke and scared me a bit. then we raced again (mostly downhill) but it wasn't really a race, i just run slightly under 6min pace to make sure the little ones didn't beat me. ran again on my own, time trialed up the hill again but only managed 1:39 with no competition.
