What does 20 miles look like?

Earlier in December I had several long runs. People ask me how do you run so far? Or, more often, Why? Well, when I leave for a long run (and by long I mean over 14 miles or about 2 hours or longer) I head out the door with some candy and a drink or two. This particular run was a warm-ish day so I brought 2 bottles of watered down powerade and starburst and chocolate chips. I also bring my cell phone just incase I get into trouble with blisters or just extreme fatigue or a severe weather change. My favorite thing to eat on the run though are those gum drop like fruit slices and pez. Happy Trails!
