"Accidently running 9 miles" is sorta like the person that "forgets to eat". Totally don't know how it is possible.

I know I know...he saw me a few paces ahead of him on the bunny chase and is gunning for me. Because it IS all about ME. Awesome job Jeff
So I am reloading my wabbit wifle and heading to Oregon (guessing that is where you live since you ran the Portland marathon and Hood to Coast) looking for faster prey. But I'm in Mass so it could take me a while to get there.
not to mention I dont really like that track because it is not asphalt, but packed crushed stone which tends to kick into my shoes as I run.
Does "forgetting" to eat for about 6 hours after a (very) long training run count? Maybe I didn't "forget"... I just never got hungry and never thought about eating. Maybe I cheated... I had some sport drink as well as water during the run, and the distance was a PR for me so even afterward I was still thinking about it.
That counts double. Usually after a long run I have planned my food about an hour before I am done running. Running makes me hungry hungry hungry...
