20 miles . . .

I am back from doing 20 miles. This was my experience:

Mist over a bean field
Rising Sun
Attempted dog bite - -successful kick in the little doggie jaw.
Hills
Pain
More hills
More pain
If I didn't hit the wall at mile 19 it sure resembled the one that I hit in my marathon a year ago. If there ANOTHER wall - -I don't want to hit it.
SLOW.
After mile 7 I once again just focuses on pain management.
Like all long runs . .this one too was bittersweet with conversations with God, self epiphanies and attacks from the enemy to stop running . .to stop living . .to stop being a good husband . .etc . . . you face alot of battles when you run long distances.
4 GELS
30 ounces of water
Hot bath
we'll see how the rest of the day stacks up.
