This was a brain teaser of a 20 miler.  First of all this run was supposed to be tomorrow but Mel had conflicts so we moved it up but only if it was not pouring on us.  Well my phone wasn't working at 4:45am so Mel called Kim who lives by me and tells Mel that it is pouring out (it wasn't she mistook the water thru the rain gutters as a downpour).  I was already getting ready to run waiting for a call to verify  that we were still on.  Well no call, and no rain so I got ready but intuition got the best of me so I called Melanie.  She had tried calling me.  I told her it wasn't raining. Just foggy, wet roads.  So she decided to come over and run 10 with me.....and you know how 10 can turn into 20 when you are nuts like us.  That's what happened.  Well minus one minor detail.  I still thought we were running 10 and having run with Melanie lately in her speedy self I was not ready to b-line it into pace so I went out for 3.2 easy miles before she got over here (AP 8:33).  Two minutes later she arrived and I was ready to run her pace.  I was in MAJOR DETOX run mode.  WAY TOO MUCH CRAP EATEN the last few days.  CRAP meaning too much SUGAR, processed foods.  My stomach was in knots and I was nauseated from it all.  It wasn't until mile 6 in our run together (after a MAJOR over a mile HILL CLIMB, a doozy I tell ya)  that I started to feel better.  We were toying with the idea of running 20 throughout this 10 mile loop and when we got back to my house and saw we had plenty of time so that Mel could get back to her class she teaches we were off on another 10 mile looper.  A bit of an easier one but still tough.  The air was perfect, the fog was fun to run in with some opeining clouds showing some blue sky, at last.  Still no sun.  I felt strong the last 4 miles.  I really should have added on three more after Melanie left just say I ran another marathon  : D.   Oh well.  Now I am shivering as I write this and my muscles need a warm bath not more miles.    AP for 20 miles with Melanie=  7:42.
