January 6

oh. my. god.

ow. I’m done with my first week of training for McNaughton. Today was a 14 mile run, which wouldn’t have been bad, except for the wind.

Flag during today's run

20MPH wind the entire time, gusting up to 30MPH, head and/or cross-winds the majority of time.  Massage after I got home, 3 8-hour acetaminophen and several beers, and I still feel like I got hit by a truck.  I’m packing my meals for tomorrow and going to bed.
