"....So, that's it."

XC camp had its final day today.
It went great. Had a nice run in the AM, which was preceeded by a good ride at home in Mass.
Then played a series of games, said my good-byes to the XC kiddos, and then I took all I had learned, and cleansed myself on the trails.
5.2 miles of tempo running, at points unable to breathe. Witness the quintessence of maximal oxygen uptake.


I still feel quite dizzy from it. But I think I'm getting better at recovering from these 30 minute visits to hell.
And another quick point: Since doing all this crazy mileage, it has occured to me, that I am consuming so many calories just to sustain my running, that at times I get sick of eating. Never thought I'd be at this point.
The journey continues...Endure.
