Do you know where this off-road sweet little pocket is in Virginia Beach? On the back end of 30+ miles (to finish the 26th consecutive week of 100+ miles of running), split-up by a breakfast break of biscuits with sausage & gravy and what is described as a 1/2 pound of hash browns, I found a quiet comfortable turnover in this natural tunnel. Even though this breakfast was substantial fuel, I recommend having tried the biscuits and gravy before (at your restaurant of choice), instead of taking this adventure for the first time in a planned run. Let's just say they were less-than-great; however, the hash browns which were served as diced potatoes (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside like mini tater-tots) were very good. But do you really care? Aren't you here for the run? The first 18.96 miles (pre-breakfast) was a typical cruise with one not-so-bad mentally low point. But the last 11+ miles were far more demanding as I had to rush home to help Jane with some moving detail and set up a microbiology course. Half-way through the One Year 100+ Miles/Week trek (now simply referred to as The Streak), I can honestly say I have learned this value of setting an overwhelming goal...it will cause you to commit to engaging in supporting daily tasks regardless of the circumstances. Oh, where is this sweet little pocket? In front of the main building of the Virginia Aquarium.
