Except when it it's a 7 mile run! Then it's just a big ole miracle!
And I even had a good time in the process.
Temp: 61 degrees
Distance: 7 miles - I wonder how far that is in dog miles...
Time: 1 hour 23 minutes
Wore: Sugoi, sports bra, fleece pants
Start time: 1:15pm or so
Took an ice bath and ooooohhh lalalalala!! She stings. And then she tingles. My legs feel like they have little sprinkles inside them, and yes, I'm typing with a runner's high.
The things I did differently and well were:
1. Loading up on carbohydrates the night before and the morning of. Juice, fruit, etc.
2. Getting plenty of sleep
3. Taking a sports gel with me - which tasted like liquid sweet nasty and blossomed in my belly like some misbegotten child. But still, half a squirt sure helped with pickup in my legs. A must have for longer runs from now on.
4. Reloaded with a smoothie with banana, soy milk, protein powder, yoghurt, and juice after ward
5. Ice bath for 15 minutes
6. Real food after the ice bath - tuna with apples, raisins, mayo, whole grain mustard
then off to life.

You should post some fotos on this. If not of you then of inspiring people running :)
Stay solid.
Inspiring like Bill Clinton in his short shorts.
Wonderful suggestion. Send me something, and see it appear posted here on the small screen.
