We Now Return to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

It's safe to take the mental health unit off speed dial, this is actually a post about running. No, seriously.

Miles: 8
Miles the rest of our pace group completed: 10
Things You Should Not Do Before Running 8 Miles:
1. Take a month off from running.
2. Get no more than 5 hours sleep a night for the preceeding week or so.
3. Stay out drinking Lonestar until 1 am.
4. Eat an Amy's breakfast burrito only 20 minutes before beginning to run.

The first four miles actually felt pretty great, the last four did not. I was wondering why I actually lost weight on the all-cookie diet I've been eating for the past three weeks, but not any more - it's because I lost all the muscles in my legs.

Only, and Awesomely, on Town Lake: Older runner in singlet and shorts - and a full on ZZ Top beard and sunglasses.
