For some reason my quads and calves were sore and I just felt sluggish.  So I actually feel very proud that I did this, because although my goal was a 2 hour run, I was immediately being like, I'll just do 10, I'll just do 8, I'll stop when Lisa does.  Ran 3.6 miles waiting for Lisa to get there, then 4.4 with her (pushed the beautiful Denali in the BOB for about 2 miles, which ALL felt uphill), then forced myself to trudge on.  Talked to both Justin and Leandrea on the phone for awhile which helped get me to the end.  2:03, AP 10:15 or something like that.  It was just about dark when I finished.  Had a lovely start-of-vacation dinner at Applebees after, now its TIME FOR MEXICO!  Hellooooo 80 degrees.
