I accidentally ran a marathon plus 1.8 today

You thought I was crazy before......just wait.

I set out at 6:39 a.m. for a long, easy pace run.  I have properly carb loaded with cinnamon rolls and skittles for the last four days so I was set to go.

New playlist

+Sea Level elevation (I am used to running in Mountain Goat habitats)

+Lots of happy things to think about

+All the free time in the world

+Temps in the 50's

+New running gear from Christmas

+A new course I have never run before with plenty of hills and a gorgeous view of the ocean.

=28 miles in 3:49:29

I was just going to run to the ocean and have Billy pick me up but once I got there I felt like a million bucks and had to challenge myself.

There were rolling hills the entire run and I am pretty sure this was a great training run for Boston.  A total of 3102 feet of climbing uphill and 3092 feet downhill.

Rest day yesterday and at least two rest days after day.

Currently typing this from my ice bath.   I asked Billy to come take a picture of me in my ice bath but something about modesty and the fact I look like I have been ran over by a truck...we decided against it.

Off to Big Bear to hang with the grandparents.

I will be reading all of your blogs from my iphone.  I can't comment but know that I am commenting in my head and loving every second of it.

Keep in mind my ridiculous mileage has nothing to do with losing weights.  I am actually trying to gain a few lbs by eating ridiculous amounts of calories (like at least 3,000 a day)

****I am doing this because I will have a sub 3 hour marathon and you may even see me in the Olympics some day.

When and where was the most beautiful run you have ever had?

-I am going to have to say today's wins.

What is your most memorable running/exercise/fitness accomplishment?

-My last marathon.... and today for the distance:)

If you could choose to be anywhere in the entire world right this second....where would it be?
