I wanna race again :(

Long runs are so killer.  Right now my daily mileage is around 8 miles per day, but one run per week covers 20% of my total mileage in that given week.  This week I logged 50 miles, so my long run was 10 miles, which usually isn't too bad.  However, I decided to mix things up a bit by biking 10 miles beforehand in an area of Lake County that I had yet to explore.  When I got back, I started running right away (very stupid).  The first 8 miles flew by with no problems, unfortunately, the last 2 were hell.  Oh well, hopefully I'm stronger now because of it.  I'm getting up at like 7 tomorrow to go run with Jake E. in Valpo which should be fun.  Right now I'm just counting down the days 'til I go to E-ville again: this time for the school year!!!  The beach will definately be a preferable locale later on this week once temps get back into the 80's.  That was a freakish chill that we've had the past few days, but it did feel really good when I was running, so I guess that I can't complain.  That's about it for now.  Stay classy Hebron~ Rich

Who says distance runners can't be ripped?
