Weekend mileage roundup

Saturday: 14.5 mile run with Team Rogue on a course they call, "Run from Hell." Let me tell you this: there has never been a more aptly named course. There were hills, hills, and more hills. But I took it easy (mid 8s pace) and was more concerned about dodging cars because there was no sidewalk or shoulders on the streets we ran.

 

I awoke Sunday with a major pain in the behind. You ever had buttocks soreness, soreness so deep in the buttocks that it hurts to hold in gas? Well, that's how sore I was Sunday morning. Still, the weather was great and I just couldn't stay off the Townlake trails. I started off thinking I'd run 7 miles, but ended up with 10 in the books. I think I probably had a calorie bonk at about Mile 8 or so ---  was sooo hungry.

 

Still, that's 24.5 miles in two days. I call that good base-building.
