7 miles. My left calf pulled and balled up the last mile. It hurt! I stopped and stretched and walked a bit. Then ran the last half mile home. Embrace the suck!

Are you still thinking you are going to do UVHM? Sometimes running stinks :)

Toby, I'm still planning to run it. But not sure if I have fitness to 'race' it. Endurance is lacking and all that fun stuff. Are you running anything there?

No UV for me. I was contemplating doing the full, but I don't think my body can handle it. It is starting to break down and EVERYTHING hurts right now. Plus, I took a major mental blow after Ogden. I'm trying to dig myself out of my mental running sadness and get my body going again....but I think I just need some time.
That was probably more than you wanted to hear. BUT you are going to do great at your CURRENT fitness level.

Oh Toby, I love hearing true feelings! You can tell me anything, any time. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who has struggled. I've struggled so so much the last two years. I've had so many lows with running. I'm ready to be rewarded for how well I've endured and learned to ride the waves with a better attitude. But it doesn't mean that it is ok or fun. And if you hurt (feel lon fire) maybe takes some time off and rejuvenate your body.& mind. It does wonders. Next marathon, you should let me come pace you the last 15. You WILL Boston qualify eventually. ;-)
