3 hours of fun

This week has gone by without any running on my part- perhaps for the good. My mind is Star Trekking back to 1988 when I used to go for 3 hour runs Saturday mornings. I would start around 7 AM and come back around 10 AM. I would go all the way up to Lake Cook road and back, in Evanston. It was one heck of a run. Being on the road for three hours really hurts the feet, and for the rest of the day I would be at my desk drinking tons of soda and reading the newspaper. A feeling of absolute tiredness would be combined with one of relaxation and one of pain- an interesting amalgam.
