NOTE TO SELF

If you're going to run 6 miles, don't do it an hour after drinking two margaritas and four beers. Your body is not going to play along and you will end up walking much of the distance.

P.S. If you ARE going to try and run 6 miles an hour after drinking two margaritas and four beers, do it on a day when you're leaving your house, going 3 miles and turning around, so that if your body craps out on you, you can cut your losses. Do not do it the one day in your entire training schedule where you are dropped off 6 miles from home and have no choice but to go the entire distance.

P.P.S. If you ARE dropped off 6 miles from home and you ARE trying to run 6 miles with 6 drinks in you, make sure it's ACTUALLY 6 miles and not, say, 7. Because that last mile is really just insult to injury then.

P.P.P.S. Remember to stretch.
