Long run #1. This is the longest I've run since April. Why do I want to add 9 more miles to this total? I ran partway up and down City Creek, met up with Fiddy and Allie, then ran some cool down miles with them. It was cool and nice with a breeze the first time up, but by the time I was running down the second time, all coolness disappeared, except for the residual glow of running with two of Utah's premier runners. I hit my target for the day (16) and still had over a mile to get to the car. I asked a cop if he'd give me a lift on the back of his motorcycle, but he declined courteously. I walked for a while, then felt like a moron walking down a hill and ran the rest of the way. Once I got out of memory grove, I found the stinkiest garbage can possible, and sat down next to it in the creek. That felt great, but smelled bad. A chocolate shake from Crown Burger was the final touch on this run. Now I'm home, and I hope I'm too tired to do anything except take a nap or go waste money at stores. I also have an 1800 calorie deficit to rectify. Also, bathing might not be a bad idea. My left tibia hurts 1/3 of the way up. This is not a new thing, but after 16 miles it hurts more than normal. |
