Got back today from South Carolina.
2200 miles driving
I ran 30 miles while I was there. . .including 3 miles last night in Lexington, Kentucky on a treadmill at the Sheraton 4 Points.
Drove 7 hours today . . . Ran 15 miles this afternoon at 3:00pm.
I was fueled by 3 bowls of oatmeal and 40 ounces.
On my run I drank 20 ounces and had a GU at 45 minutes and 90 minutes.
I think I was hallucinating at mile 12 . . .very Pink Floyd-ish.
15 miles is the farthest I have ran in 2012. I feel pretty good. Upon returning home I stretched at my usual spot halfway down the block and then hopped into a cold bath . . .cold as in zero hot water. The cold bath came a lot closer to killing me than the run! I recover 2 times faster when I man up and sit in a cold tub.
I have a ton of insights but not much time to mention them....congratulations to a friend who ran 8 straight hours and ran over 45 miles!!!
