Blistering Weekend Long Run

I did my long run this weekend in preparation for the Free State Trail Marathon and I almost had to call for a rescue. At one point along the South Lawrence Trafficway I had to stop and ask a stranger weeding her yard for a refill on my water. I really should have carried my larger pack but I thought there would be places along the way to refill. I was sorely mistaken. I also need to find a nice hat. I am rather sunburned which is a bit odd for running in March.

Altogether though it was a great run. My body was fine aside from the elements. I wasn't sore or blistered or cramped in any way. Just parched and burned. Can't wait for the 22nd to get this marathon under my belt!
