Steve Prefontaine-ish Run (91) hungover and hurting
Love the scene in the movie about Steve Prefontaine (American long distance runner) where his roommate, hung over and hurting, makes it as far as the window, looks out in time to see Steve puke in the bush in front of their residence, and then Steve goes for his morning training run...
I only had a couple long cool hefeweizens last night - good bye party for a couple teachers who are leaving stevens - and this morning there was no chance of me running anywhere - heike and i made it out for a walk round 4 o'clock this afternoon - we walked for a couple hours and i felt pretty queasy
but round 7 i talked myself into going for a run - slow and easy - a warm quiet night out there - back towards Byfang - through fields and farm roads - over hills and into valleys - strange how the queasiness slowly melted away out there and while i couldnt run fast, i could run and run - had that feeling like i could run all night - ran for an hour and a half
so i didnt exactly jump out of bed, puke and run - but then im not training for the olympics either
