Fall racing season is here!
Fall racing season was my favorite season. You spend all summer slogging through the heat, hoping that pushing your miles in the nasty hot humidity will make you SO fast once the weather breaks. Then you have your first 50 degree morning run and you literally feel like you are flying! Yeah, fall running was awesome. I'm not going to lie, Facebook has been hard to handle some days. Most people are distance training for one marathon or another. There are posted stats of the 15, 18, 20 mile runs and I CANNOT imagine running that far! I know I've done it, too many times to count, but holy shit that seems so far!!! And why are they smiling after??? Doesn't everything hurt??? Then I look at pictures of me, like the one above after I ran a 50 mile trail race last year, and sure enough I look happy as can be. And I was. But now I feel very far removed from even being able to comprehend how someone just goes out and runs 20 miles on a random Satu...
