Saturday Long Run

Sooo marathon madness kicked off yesterday with my first 20 mile long run.  It didn't go so well.  20 turned to 18 and I was happy to get that.  I hate to toss blame around, but I felt sick from the start, and I think my iron pills are the culprit.   

On a completely related note, do you really think that the amish make those heat surge fireplaces?  And if they're electric, don't the amish have issues with that?  I'm pretty sure this infomercial is a scam.  I'll not contribute to their shenanigans.

How do I begin?

In medias res... because that's how I roll.  After a busy day at work of looking online for funny things to do with a banana, I'm headed to the Y for an hour of fun and games on the treadmill.  Why the treadmill today?  Glad you asked!  Because once I set that timer, I'm not going to increase it, and there's only so much damage I can do to my legs in an hour.  Also, I like to make the trainers nervous that I'm going to overheat another one of their machines.  I prefer to feign ignorance when this happens.
