Long Run of 15 miles

Whew, that was a long run I just completed around the wyatt howse...Ma fellow amuricans, I hope yer havin' a good summer. I just got back from visitin' my mama and daddy up in Maine. They asked me to remind you to donate to a real good charity:

I've been very concerned about being behind in all my training. I've missed several long runs. I am thrilled to report that all changed today. It cooled down signifigantly here at the beach this afternoon as I set out to run 10 miles. I ended up running 15, and feeling like I could do another 5. It felt terrific. I am now 6 miles away from breaking 900 miles since last May. My path took me through the Northern Outer Banks to where they road actually ends and beach acess begins. The sand is actually considered a continuation of Highway 12. I ran out of water after 8 miles and stopped at a convenience store and filled up (Camelback holds about 25 ounces). It was the best run I can remember in a long long time.

Thanks to Liz Tardif and Sarah Szabo for donating. Please consider a donation at:
