My 3rd leg of the American Odyssey Relay.


Finally getting to my 3rd leg of the AOR. So this leg came after a night of about a half hour of sleep. I woke up feeling like shit. Thought I was going to puke and actually thought if I did I would feel better. I didn't.

So my leg called for 6.5 miles on the C&O canal. Very flat and shaded. I started off good running the first 11 minutes or so. Then I went to run 5 minutes and walk 1 minute. Then I quickly went to 1 minute run and 1 minute walk. I was very happy to see that my leg turned out to be only 6.25.

Nice job hiding that shitty feeling. I had no clue.

Maybe you'd advise getting in bed with a cannon? (Let everyone figure that out!)

Hard to run when you're head is all foggy and a rock solid :30 min of sleep!? Ouch.
