17 miles tomorrow AM before Irene hits. Wish me luck!

Not only on running 17 miles but on the impending hurricane heading our way. It's been a rough week for us on the east coast...first an earthquake and now a hurricane.   Philadelphia is in her direct line....

We are not used to this crap.

Hurricane Irene is messing with my training!

I HAD planned to do my long run on Sunday this week. The Hurricane apparently has other ideas for what I will be doing on Sunday.  So, the long run moves to Saturday.  17 miles....wow.  I will blog about it when done and let you know how it felt.

A bizarre thing happened to me on my 5.5 mile run last night.  My hands and feet burned.  They felt like they were on fire.  The only rationale I have is that I was chopping jalapenos before going out for the run.  I washed my hands thoroughly with soap.  Could that really be the culprit?
