It's been a busy day. First off I slept late so that didn't help any. Anyway, around 1100 or so I took off from the house headed out to 1585. I didn't really know what my plans were but I took two handbottles with Accelerade and my trail pack with a bunch of gels and some S-caps. I ended up running a nice round 20 miles. By the end of it I was wasted. I went out way too hard but at the time I didn't know that I was going to run that far plus I had a good strong headwind in my face for the first half. I knew I needed to run that kind of distance but that's different. ha About 2 miles from the house, I had to get off the shoulder because a dipshit driver was blocking the way and I had to detour into a cotton field. Well, with the kind of rain that we've been having........I was COVERED in shitloads of mud. It was fun but really made my legs heavy because I had a couple of pounds on each shoe and up the backs of both legs. Oh, well! Anyway, so I will take tomorrow off since I have to head back to Hobbs. I will get a couple of decent runs in this weekend and then maybe a 15 miler or so on Tuesday which is my day off. We'll see how it goes.
