That was a long way to go in very hot weather. We should all feel very proud right now, even if we can't walk very far. I came home, showered, and went to lunch but found myself thinking I wanted to park as close to the entrance as possible because the fewer steps, the better. My feet are fine now, but during the run the bottoms of them got really tender and painful again. I think Mark is right, with this heat and humidity, there's no sock on Earth that will wick moisture that long. Other than that, all I had was tired legs. I'm sure that comes from not training like I need to. Hopefully that will stick with me on Monday so I'll run instead of wimping out again. I'd love to do a little recovery ride on the bike tomorrow, but we'll see. It will be a stationary one if it happens. That's for sure. I would like to just stay inside for the next week after today, but I know that thought is just a reaction to today.
I'm glad that one's over, just two more long Mississippi summer runs to go -- we can do this. We are marathoners!!

My feet were soaked and pruned up, too. I am suprised I did not get a blister. Chicago will be a sweet party compared to this. I am glad the toe is on the mend, too.
I'm hoping (probably foolishly) that the 22 miler in Sept. will be a little cooler. Okay, so I'm an optimist, can't help it! I don't think it can get much worse! (famous last words)
