6.5 painful miles. Worst run in at least the last 20. Not sure why, my whole body was cramping up. Blech.
Cut it short b/c I thought about 8-9 miles, but no way. Shoulda quit at 4. Or 3. It's a shame, as the trail was great and I had taken the extra time to drive there in the afternoon; dark and light clouds, lots of wind, temps in the 60s, leaves and debris everywhere, desolate trail due to dramatic thunderstorms the last few days. If only my body would have let me have more fun today.....
Went swimming with the kids afterwards, was mostly treading water and goofing off, and poof, like magic, everything better. No cramps, no tight muscles, loosey goosey.
Now, after grading for 3 hrs (standing, but a lot of sitting too), I'm back to cramps through my legs, but at least not upper body/back pain.
The rest o y'all????
