18 miler
We had our first Port Stanley run of the summer. For those not familiar, Port Stanley is a cute town on the lake, exactly 26 miles from downtown, you can start anywhere along the way, run to the lake and jump in.
I did 18 miles today, and it was bloody awesome.
This same route and distance the same time last year took me 3 hours and 34 mins, this year, 3 hours and 15 mins!
HELLLLOOOO!
Not to blow my own trumpet, but .... toot toot, that wonderful 3.15 included 7 waterstops, 2 toilet breaks and a couple huge hills, where I confess I walked for a couple minutes on the last one (which really only makes my running time even faster and my finish time more impressive).
Then after the run and dip in the lake we had lunch on the patio at the beach afterwards. Which took longer to arrive than it did for me to run there ... they compt'd my turkey burger ... sweet.

That sounds awesome. I often pondering jumping into the ocean after a long run, but then I think about the sandy walk back. And do I jump in with my running shorts on?
