Moonlit run
So, this morning Julia and I did what we think may be the craziest thing we’ve done so far: we ran 14 miles before work, from 5:30 AM to 8:00 AM!
The first part of the run was dark and through the woods, with only moonlight shining down on us (!). Obviously I was running along with my trigger finger on the pepper spray. Fortunately for me, Julia is a world class sword fighter and is about 6 feet tall, so I’m pretty sure that between her and me, any given bandit would end up very, very sorry he messed with us.
We finished the run this morning thinking it was very odd that we were not very tired. It must have been the inspiring talk given by ultramarathoner Missy Foy at the Godiva Marathon Training Program kick-off meeting last night. Marathon, here we come!
