PSA - do not go running after attending a going away party.

Decided to run 10 miles afterwards and luckily the loop I run passes near my house. At the 5 mile mark, I had to go so bad, the last 1/2 mile was agonizing. Almost went behind some dumpsters behind the Boston University Library. Couldn't run fast in fear of going in my pants and made it with a second to spare.

In case anyone is interested, I wrote up a quick little report of the trail half-marathon that I did last weekend. It was called the Twisted Ankle (http://www.rungeorgiatrails.com/maps.html), and basically consisted of running up a mountain and back down again (after a few miles on the top of the mountain). I wasn't really planning to race it, but going up the steepest section (which was ridiculously steep and long; I nearly had to scramble up on all fours), I actually passed the only guy ahead of me and was leading the dang thing for the rest of the race. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, I was supposed to turn around at this one aid station. The volunteers at the aid station did not tell me to turn around, and so I kept going. And going. And going. Eventually I found my way to another aid station, which also served as the 18-mile point for the full marathon. They told me I was supposed to turn around 3 miles ago and sent me back on my way. I ended up running a total of about 16 miles, and went from 1st place to 15th place. Still, I had a lot of fun and am definitely going back again to redeem myself!!!

Oh, and I did 12 miles today - 3769

LOL Scorch, I did something similar at the Medved Madness race. About 12 miles into the race I missed a marker and ran an extra mile out of my way. I lost several positions due to that flub, but that is where I rejoined your GF and finished the race with her so it worked out well for me after all.

That scenery is absolutely beautiful! And LOL at the "Sample Course Elevation" on the main page!

That's a shame that the marshal didn't point you in the right direction - well, I guess it's a trial race before you go win it next year!

7.5 miles today. Saw 2 snakes, a chipmunk, and heard some animals crashing in the trees along the trail. Dunno what they were. But what the hell was with all the caterpillars hanging from threads? My son and I were constantly running through them. We must have brushed dozens off ourselves. :shocked:

Well... I'm starting to lift and work on speed. Yesterday was the first time in 6 years that I squatted. I did 1 mile after that just to keep my legs limber. Had a 400 workout today (1.5 up, 4x400, 1.5 down). Didn't go so hot... as my legs are completely stupid right now. Oh well

7.5 miles today in my new Mizuno Wave Ascend 4s. Not too bad, feels alot different than my NB 767s or 570s, but I wasn't hobbling when I was done.
