Dear #runmeter why do you keep giving me links to invalid maps? Getting really irritated here.
UPDATE: Uh because dummy, your iPhone’s GPS chip has slowly started to die…. and it did eventually. When I bought my new iPhone 4S, everything worked perfectly.
So this is what a body feels like a day after running 18 miles? Ya know, I would have thought that after feeling good yesterday post-“damn run”, that I would be escaping the aches and pains pretty much unscathed.
That’s where my brain deceives me. The thinking part.
First notable pain – the middle toe on my right foot. Just the tip. Ow.
Second and third pain – my neck and shoulders
Ow my toe.
Third pain – middle of my back
Ow my toe!
I realize that this is a gradual onset of achiness, and that I could be in for an interesting next 12 hours.
I think I am starting to get a headache.
Ugh my toe! Am I about to lose a nail or what???

Yesterday morning I woke up a little early, in hopes of getting out on the road before sunrise. Since this run was going to be 18 miles, I wanted to try to get on the last part of it before the lovely Texas heat started baring down. Yeah that didn’t work out as planned. I still hit the road at 6:15 am; my normal time. My attitude was not of the best, and I think my nerves were causing me to drag my feet a bit. As my training runs get longer, I get a little more anxious, and even begin to doubt myself.
If yesterday proves ANYTHING, it’s that I should never underestimate my will.
