Well this is a tale of the run that almost never happened. I didn't have a plan last night and got to bed late. Then didn't wake up and didn't want to go out this morning. So I bagged it. We got some projects done here at the house and did some shopping before noon. Then I got hungry and had Burger King for lunch.... We got home and by around 2 p.m I decided to go out. In the beginning it was trouble. The Burger King wasn't sitting well at all and I came close to barfing or just laying down on the trail. Hit a couple porta potties which helped the situation and kept grinding. Never let the dogs out but kept it honest the entire run. Hit a solid 8 mile section up and down the river trail right around 6 min pace and finished the run with a 6:27 avg. Nothing amazing and it never felt that great but it's done. The one thing I had going for me was the weather. 55 F, sunny and no wind. It was just amazing. So in the end the lesson learned is just get up and run first thing- get it out of the way and then you've got the rest of the day to eat and chillax.
