ORN: Yesterday, I ran 14 miles in 2:20'49", the longest distance I've ever run. The weather was perfect -- 55° and sunny -- and I even got a little tan line on my wrist from my watch. Wildlife aplenty was in and around the parks, like chipmunks and squirrels, doing their spring thing. Tons of people were riding bikes, pushing strollers, and running. On Dog Hill [a.k.a. Barrett Hill, a place where people let their dogs go off-leash and run amok], there were about a half-dozen large dogs of various types running around having fun, losing their minds a little as if they'd be cooped up too long because of winter. I guess everybody was feeling the same way.
I peed three times. Fortunately, the bathrooms were all open around the parks, so I didn't have to risk an indecent exposure charge.
So the run itself was uneventful but there was a lot to watch and a lot going on. The rest of the day I was a slug. Tired and sore.
Great run, despite the soreness.
