Running Hard
Yesterday I ran 23 miles. That was kinda dumb. But necessary, if I'm going to run the Marine Corps Marathon in 7 weeks.
It occurred to me that, back in April, I had an injury toward the end of the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler that kept me from running for a few weeks. Then I went to Asia for 3 weeks, where road running wasn't much of an option. So I didn't really start running again until I got back in July.
Which means that, in the last 2 months, I've gone from running 3 miles, to running 23.
Not bad.
Later, Stan and I had Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner. I got Extra Crispy. Because I'd earned it.
