Run for Haiti
Yesterday I posted on the mobile section that I had finished the race
coming in number 256 of 8704. The statistics have been updated and I
need to post a correction. I finished number 266 of 9421 at a time of
27:17.
This was of course about a minute slower than the Grid Iron classic
where I PR'd, but I finished in the top 2.8% this time.
Yesterday's race raised over $400,000 for the relief effort in Haiti,
with over 10,000 people registering and making donations.
Yesterday's race was also the first time I had run in a week. Last
Saturday (February 13) I ran 31.73 miles. With the upcoming race
schedule and training for the New Jersey and Pocono Marathons in May, I
figured it would be best to actually rest.
It felt good to run again. I missed it.

256/8704. Not a PR time, but not a bad showing.

A couple of things....
First, am I the only one who gets freaked out when seeing a Toyota in my
rear-view mirror?
Second, google calculator has failed me. I keep trying to do conversions
using Joules and it keeps giving me search results for physics forums
with no calculator results. WTF google? WTF?

On sunday I ran...
27.22 miles because I felt like it.
I woke up Sunday morning, ran some errands, and then met a friend for a
run. While I was waiting for him, I ran a one mile warm-up. Then he and
I set out and ran a half marathon.
I felt pretty good afterward, so a little while later I set out to do
another 10K. That 10K turned into an 8.4 mile hill work out.
I realized I was only about four miles shy of a marathon at that point
and I still felt really good. After a short break I went out one more
time. Four and a half miles later, I was back home and had logged the
most miles in a single day that I had ever done, breaking my previous
record by a mile.
It felt absolutely amazing.
Can every body feel like I do?
Can't you can't you trip like I do?
