I&#8217;m so pissed at myself for being lazy over the weekend (and sick) and not doing it while the weather was more decent. No I couldn&#8217;t do it tomorrow, I have too much to do to get ready for the big move on Saturday. So here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/463695889\" target=\"_blank\">stats for the run<\/a>. I lost most of my energy after mile 14.<br \/>\nIt was super cold, -12 C when I started, 10 F. My eyelashes froze, for the first 4 miles my fingers and feet hurt so bad. It was a huge challenge today. It&#8217;s one of those days you hate yourself and question why you&#8217;re taking every single step, and yet at the end you are happy and proud no matter how long it took.<br \/>\nSo tomorrow I start packing for real. I run with my club, and then they have a thing planned for after the run. They&#8217;re really cool people. I hear from other folks that other clubs aren&#8217;t quite the same. But that&#8217;s ok, join a club and make it zany and fun. Zany has been a word I&#8217;ve been using today.<br \/>\nOne other thing after my run, I actually offended myself with my smell. Through the left-over congestion, the temperatures in the teens, the exhaustion of a 20 miler, I smelled BAD. I had to jump right in the shower, before I had some water, before I ate anything. Speaking of which I&#8217;m still in calorie deficit for the day. That&#8217;s not good, and I don&#8217;t really have anything healthful to eat. Maybe I will top things off with another lovely cup of hot cocoa. I certainly did enough to earn one, even though tomorrow night will be several beers deep. But that&#8217;s ok, I have a 6 mile run beforehand. The good news is, the steakhouse we&#8217;re going to has a veggie burger on the menu.<br \/>\nAlright kids, goodnight, I&#8217;m going to have something yummy. Have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-677\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-677\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-677\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-677\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=677&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So today I had to get a long run in.
