| | Well, in two weeks I'm running the Vegas Ragnar. I have one leg that will be 10 miles with 828 feet of elevation gain. So this morning I decided to mimick that by running 10 miles up and down Usery Pass. The elevation gain on this run was 860 feet. It was a beautiful morning, but it was starting to warm up. I took no water with me on the run, just a chocolate Gu. Once I got to the top after 3.7 miles I took the Gu. I ate a banana before I left. From then on all my burps tasted like chocolate banana cream pie. Yummy! I saw a penny on the side of the road. I remember when I first started running again over 6 years ago and anytime I saw money I would think that it was a good luck charm. There were a lot of cyclists out as usual. I must admit, I was digging all the looks of amazement and envy I was getting from them. One guy said, "You're really getting it this morning. Go get it!" It would have been cool, but he looked like a douche. After about 8 miles I was really wishing I was done, but I just kept going because my water was in my truck. Near the top I did see a brand new gallon of water that someone had stashed, but I left it alone. Anyway, I made it, but I had to run two laps around the parking lot to get an even 10 in. There was another guy there putting his bike together. He probably thought I was weird. I'm glad my truck was still there. I left my keys inside hidden. At one point during the run I saw a white GMC Sonoma coming towards me. I had to turn and look to make sure there weren't any Ragnar stickers in the back window. So I texted my wife and told her I made it. I asked if she could make me a cold drink. She said sure, but when I got home, there was nothing. So I made myself a milkshake with two packets of P90X Recovery drink mix (orange flavor.) Then I took a shower. Once I was done washing myself I turned the water all the way on cold and stood there for about a minute. I asked my wife if she cared to join me. So when she got in she got a cold surprise. That's what she gets.
