Subject: Ran my first (almost) half mary last evening... I went for a few drinks after work. After awhile, everyone had gone home and I realized that I had way too much to drink to drive safely. I thought about calling a cab, then said to myself, "Screw it! I'm a triathlete! Lets hoof it!!" Had to walk the first 45 minutes so i didnt hurl. Then I ran for an hour or so. It got dark during this time. Walked the last 30 minutes or so to get home. I used the route tracker and scored it at a shade over 12 miles. Did it in blue jeans. Longest previous run this year was about 5 miles. (I've had foot problems most of the last 4 years). Surprisingly, my feet were fine with this run. I had to make the "bike ride of shame" this morning to go collect my car. Anyway, thought some folks might get a kick out of how crazy we triathletes are (or at least this one is). |
