"Nice Day For A Run (Part 2)"

And fortunately it was run day!  And not just any run, but long run.  I felt good the whole time, or at least until km 29 of 30, and by that time it didn't matter.  I did make a couple of mental errors (aren't they all mental?), the first was a bar I ate about a half hour before I left.  I had indigestion the whole way, and in fact it may have been a factor at km 29 when I suddenly felt decidedly nauseous.  Live and learn....nothing with nuts or granola before running.  And I must have been pretty excited about the weather because I also went out without my lifesaver.  I realized it about 5 minutes out, and considered going back, but because I had water with me I thought I would be okay.  I regretted that mistake several times, but I think it's probably hurting me more now than during my run.  My throat is decidedly raw from the prolonged dryness.

So like I said, a very nice 30 km, but what I like best about it is that it was only two days after my longer ride.  The day in between was complete rest, but it's good to know that I can completely recover in that time frame.  I'm gonna continue this pattern for the next few weeks to see if it holds up as the bike rides get longer.  Even if I find myself a bit tired going into my long run I think that's okay, as long as I adjust my pace accordingly.  After all, come race day I'm probably gonna be just a wee bit tired when I head out for my marathon.  :)

And for your smile of the day, it seems that a defendant in a Utah Courtroom (Mr Angilau), was shot to death while trying to attack a witness.  The judge declared a mistrial saying, and I quote...
"The court finds that this occurrence in the courtroom would so prejudice Mr. Angilau as to deprive him of a fair trial,"
