My goal was simple, I thought. I wanted to run 15 miles in 3 days in the Texas hill country while abstaining from beer and heavy foods. The running was the easy part. I did the miles and ran some serious hills; and I feel much better than I anticipated considering the difficulty I have finding hills to train on.
The beer intake was moderate too. It really had to be if I was going to run every morning. However, I ate myself silly. My in-laws are not cooks by trade, but they could be. To give you a glimpse of what the weekend was like Easter dinner was 6 racks of smoked baby back ribs, 4 pounds of chicken and apple sausage, a vat of slow cooked cheddar potatoes, homemade rolls, coleslaw, some kind of grape salad, and veggies were there somewhere. This was for 6 adults, a three year old, and a three month old.
All in all it was a great idea and committing to the mileage for Brandon’s challenge was the only way it was going to happen. Thanks Brandon.
