rode the trolleys down to 47

run: Holmes/UAH
http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/united-states/al/huntsville/10949089
time: untimed, gave it everything I had though
goal: revolution of self
+/-: n/a
music: Massive Attack - Blue Lines

What happens when a 250lb man laces up two-year-old running shoes, loads his nano with British trip hop, and pounds out a 4.5 mile run?
-potholes
-ankles and arches that scream with every murderous step
-complete respiratory failure at mile 3
-overwhelming feelings of triumph and satisfaction

I am in dire need of new running shoes (and, perhaps, some Under Armour), but it's on. Aside from a bit of soreness, I feel great.

Also, if either of you have nutrition tips, post them. After this workout I had a taste for zebra flesh, but it's pretty high in saturated fat.
