For the first time since Saturday, Nov. 15, my legs felt dead. I ran the first mile of the Park Hill Loop in 10:20 and felt none of the recent sharpness. It had not appeared through roughly the first half mile of the second, and my hands were cold and I realized that for some reason I had forgotten to pack energy gel, so I finished what is also the Maple Street Loop in 21:40. Oh well.
I suspect and hope the explanation is as simple as my poor diet the last two days. I lived on chili dogs and potato chips as I watched three state championship football games at War Memorial Stadium. I think I had five chili dogs, plus a few pieces of Popeye's fried chicken. We'll see.
Late this afternoon, I felt a little livelier running Mike Wickline's Hash run from Allsop Park. We were only out for 27 minutes, and probably covered about two miles.
