20 Fail

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Mica

Jessica and I attempted 20 miles this morning. Bottom line: I didn’t make it. My legs felt terrible for the entirety of the run: sore, tired, and heavy. For the whole run, I was acutely aware of feeling miserable. I … Continue reading →

Where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Mica

I was filled with rage this morning when I could not find the recreational trails/paths around the river in Austin. Seriously. Irrationally RAGE-ful. (Dumb hormones!) Eventually, I was able to locate them and trot along the river bank, but I … Continue reading →

Turtles in Texas!

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Mica

I feel like we’ve been going non-stop on this trip (and really, since before spring break), so I let myself sleep in this morning. Thus, I only made it out for a short three-miler before breakfast. San Antonio’s Riverwalk isn’t … Continue reading →

Mexican food coma

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Mica

I ran six-and-change miles around the Baylor campus and surrounding areas this morning. Not only did I find a nice cemetery, I also found the Baylor mascot bears. (They have two black bears in an “educational cabana” on campus. Private … Continue reading →

Texas via Arkansas

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Mica

I started this morning with a run on the Mississippi River Trail on Memphis’ Mud/Harbor Island. My legs were pretty wiped from yesterday’s 15, but I managed 5.4 miles at a sub-10 pace. There was even a bridge with a … Continue reading →
