Absolutely no energy the last four miles of my run. I went to the Oval after working on my second job most of the morning. Plans were for 12-13, but I just lost my motivation. Did stop to talk to say hello to a guy that had lapped me almost every time around (can't stand those people!) and asked him if he was Walter - and he was. Poor guy had spent the whole night snowplowing and was getting in his miles before sleeping. Also talked to two other guys doing constant laps. The one guy, after complimenting me on running so many laps, started off with, "We are ultrarunners training for a race next month." He looked shocked when I said, "And I will be providing your overnight aid station at the ranch." so - then we talked ultrarunning. They were just finishing up 30 miles and going to do at least 40-42. They are doing the 100 mile option at Buffalo Run. Time to get back to work. Having a second income is nice - but I need to find a good balance between work and life.
