Am I tired yet?

Yesterday was the longest run of my life! Quite literally at 4 hours and 15 minutes. My run took me through many of the parks around Bellingham; from the nearby Cornwall Park where I run most days, to Whatcom Falls, up Galbraith mountain, then down the road to Lake Padden, couple times around the lake, over to the Interurban trail, then home via Boulevard Park. Usually I pick one or two of these places to run, not all of them! on the same day!
I confess I was not alone- I was listening to a book on a tape, or a book on mp3 ( don't ask how long it took to transfer to my mp3 player! nearly as long as my run....) I was listening to the Princess Diaries 5 because that was the best thing I could find at the library, don't judge me! It was actually very entertaining and kept my thoughts away from depressing things like: I'm lonely, or I'm tired, or I'm bored! or dear God why am I still running? Instead I got to laugh at funny things like 20 reasons why horror movies mess up your life, ( couldn't agree more!) And it was nice to be able to laugh after three hours and twenty minutes.
Still it took awhile. I didn't finish the whole book though I came close. I also felt older at the end of the run, kind of like I couldn't believe it was the same day. My legs started to ache around three hours and by three and half hours they hurt a good amount. All I was thinking about the last hour besides the story was otter pops! Mmmm otter pops, otter pops are the greatest invention ever! I want to marry otter pops! The Blue one, maybe the pink one too. I am a polygamist.  I walked five minutes home to my house where I realized I had forgotten my key and my roommate not being home I had to break in through a window. Note to self- close windows! Then I had three otter pops which pretty much tasted like heaven and made the last four hours and fifteen minutes worth it.
After a nap and a really bad nights sleep ( I can't sleep, too jazzed from otter pops maybe?) and then eight hours of work I think I'm a little bit tired. My bones ache a little. I want to run seven miles today though so I can be at 100 for the week. But when I start running it is so easy and I realize I am not tired after all and I run 8! So 101! 50 K here I come, watch out, you're not so far no more
