Mileage for today: 27.4 Visit 19th House Starting point is the McDonald's on Huffman Mill Road in Burlington. Stopping point is the McDonald's on High Point Road in Greensboro On-On Hashers! Last night I had a great time with a fellow Hasher by the name of Whiner. For those who don't know what a Hasher or the Hash House Harriers are, in a nut shell it is a drinking club with a running problem. That only the tip of the iceberg and really doesn't do Hasher justice. Whiner took me out to a great ale house for some beer and some burgers which is what I really needed, well the huge chunk of calories from the burger anyway. Today's run was much better than yesterday. I didn't get massive food cravings, probably because of the burger the night before, and I ran fairly well. In fact, I knew I was being met at 2PM by Whiner and 3PM by the folks from the Winston-Salem Ronald McDonald House and I had to slow down. Around 11AM I figured if I didn't slow down, I'd be at my ending destination before 1. So, I texted a few people including my brother Doug and basically stalled. Worked out okay and arrived at 1:45PM beating Whiner by about 5 minutes. Best part of the day was Whiner bringing the stroller to a local bike shop for a once over. They greased that puppy up, put air in the tires and tightened the spokes. The actual run was fairly boring. I didn't find any interesting dead animals, no license plates and really nothing worth writing home about. It really was just a day of getting in some miles and a little closer to Miami. My Achilles was a bit sore again, but hopefully is venturing toward going away. Some more ice and more Ibuprofen. |
