The worst run ever. I was good the first 6, but then the temp dropped 10 degrees and I was underdressed (didn't even wear gloves), I lost my dog in the newly unfrozen marsh, and I got really sick to my stomach (hmmm, maybe that block of Velveta and 42 oz. Diet Pepsi wasn't such a good idea). I forget also, that even at 27 degrees, you can get dehydrated. The last 3 miles all I could dream about was getting home to drink a gallon of water. My next runs will be shorter, higher intensity. No more long runs until Moab. After Moab, I'll reevealuate for the Ogden Marathon. Jeff and I passed each other a bunch of times doubling up portions of the trail for extra miles. You know when someone is good at something when they make it look easy. He makes running look effortless, he glides. It's fun watching people do what they are good at. But it makes me wonder, do I make anything look effortless? Am I that good at anything? Probably just eating. |
