Double Digits


10 MILES

Oh yeah, baby—Double Digits!  I ran 10 miles in a row yesterday afternoon and I’m about to sprain my elbow from patting myself on the back.  There’s no way I’m telling you how, um, “fast” I ran those miles, but that’s not the point here.  IRAN10MILESINAROWALLBYMYSELF!  And it was the perfect day for a run.  Sunny, but the trail was shady, just enough breeze to cool you without making you shiver.  Gorgeous early spring flowers and baby leaves on the trees.  A truly fabulous day to be outside.  Unfortunately, I’m not feeling too fabulous today.  The effort seems to have left me with a delayed headache in addition to the delayed onset muscle soreness.  Plus I got a truly impressive blister all over my left pinkie toe.  I was going to take a picture, but thought it might not impress y’all.  I just keep trying to remind myself that I feel crummy today because I.  Ran.  10 (count ‘em—10).  Miles.

So leave me a comment today—gimme some props (or say thanks for me not posting a picture of my grubby little toe)!  Or even just to commiserate about the headache.  Does anyone else get headaches the day after they put in some physically hard work?
