"One of these mornings..."

Today's run! Graham [livejournal.com profile] cola_fan and I are feeling pretty beastly!

Apparently it was about 17.3 miles over three-ish hours, including a break for smoothies. And the pedometer site is saying that this is around 2000 calories for me (hence, my overwhelming hunger and slight nausea afterwards...)

We saw a guy out on the road who recognized what we were doing -- he ran by us once, then again an hour or two later -- and he shouted "See you on Thanksgiving!" which was really encouraging!

Marathons are a Really Long Way. I'd like to run, either next week or the one following, out to the northern endpoint of the course. I think we're good, as long as on Race Day I'm not carrying a CamelBack, stopping for traffic, and not getting handed gatorade every few miles.

Wow. 2000 Calories. You could eat 2 days worth of food and be on par. Crazy.

Wow, that's impressive.  Guess you've got to eat pretty well the night before the marathon.
