Ice Ice Baby

If you ever have a chance to run Neuse River Trail it is worth the drive.

4 pax converged on Neuse River Trail for a 7 am start but one pax but in the wrong directions and there was a slight detour.

There was some quick mumble chatter and we set off with all the essentials: tailwind, goo, protein bars, gloves, hats, etc..

A little chilly for the run but no wind. We headed south on the trail for a few miles. 1st ice patch up and skidmark got some wet feet trying to avoid a trail wide sheet of ice.  After about 2 miles quick stop for a COT and so skidmark could defrost his camelback. Hose froze and he couldn’t get any nutrition. One pax pissed at this time.

Continued to mosey down the trail to mile 5 for a turn around. Again a quick COT so skidmark could defrost his camelback and two pax could piss.

Nice mosey back to the start where Double D left after 10 miles and skidmark, pikachu, and 187 could last little bit of 12 miles.

Well, way more ice patches along the way. Luckily no one busted their ass. Last 12 were pretty uneventful. Nice little grind coming in to the parking lot.

It’s funny how your body rejects walking after 22 miles. Like WTF are you doing g this for. All good for 22 miles then you start walking and your calves go to shit.

Some a have a nice days in the parking lot with a foam roller next to a used condom (not ours). Lots of recovery time as we popped pills, drank, and moaned in pain. Lots of good conversation.

Off to Starbucks. Leg cramps! A quick coffee. Skidmark had to steal someone’s water or we would still be waiting there. Fuck you Alan! I ran 22 miles today. You walked you ass in from the parking lot. I’m taking this water Alan.

5 weeks!
