Sunday Wrap Up: More Militaristic Strategery

In keeping with the "hills are the building blocks of my fort" metaphor I established this week, I continued building my defense against Newton with today's 16 miler.

Sure, moats were probably outdated by the time of the American Revolution, and syphilis blankets were used against the American Indians, and ninjas probably have never played a role in any American military action, ever, but I never claimed to be a historian. Only a bad ass marathoner.

Number of Miles Run This Week: 41.

Number of Beers Consumed This Week: 10 and counting. Conveniently, happy hour at my house begins precisely when I get out of my post long run shower.

Types of Beers Consumed This Week: Sam Adams Alpine Spring, Guinness, Bud Light, Blue Moon, and Old Man Winter Ale, thanks to Neal. One thing I forgot to bring with me to CT was a bottle of 16 Mile Dark Court Ale, which was in the mix from Neal, and which I intended to drink following a 16 miler.  Alas, I left it in the fridge at my apartment.  Perhaps one day next week I'll run 1.6 miles and then drink it; I'm not running long just for beer's sake.

Rumor has it I have track work coming up this week. Best get in the drinking tonight while I still can. It's what whichever Presidents we're celebrating tomorrow would gave wanted. Again, I'm not a historian...
