Treacherous Ten Miles

These are photos of our treacherous Ten Mile Run. Tom took the pictures. At one point it took me ten mintues to go five feet because of vertigo and just plain being scared:) But I managed....The photo of my back is the stick that Tom helped me up with on that one part...Jah Bless.

Long Road and Crossover Video

LONG ROAD

Today Tom and I ran from the start of Peacock 54 at Dillingham to the bottom of Long Road via the Crossover and back. It totaled a little over 22 miles. I dont know though if I was mentally strong enough to do it. I mean I hung in there and pushed through and felt little pain (not really in my knee) but I felt mentally drained by mile 20. I didnt bonk but just felt drained. That is my longest run since Nov. 20 2008 and definitley the toughest. I mean doing 22 up in those mountains is like a 50K or so on a gentle rolling asohalt course. “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optioinal,” David Horton. That is what kept running through my head. Obviously too much pain and you need to stop, but the pain was in my head. Funny, huh!? I think I just need to take some more GU Roctane, that stuff is like crack for athletes!!:) I am going to go to the Angeles Crest course on June 20 for the night training run:) Snakes, Cougars and Bears OH MY!!!! Talk story later. BTW We made another video this one about Long Road it will be up tomorrow……
