Good but hard walk - I rested a while after the run - I felt pretty good until I sat down but I got real tired once I sat - I visited with my friends for a while then just rested after they left - I recovered a bit and bought some socks then went out for the balance of my walk - I was still feeling pretty tire and I bit unfocused - I just did the best I could and rested 15 minutes once I got back to my car then drove home - I took it real easy going home still feeling a bit unfocused - I made it home safely and showered and rested - I thought I would sleep but I have not - 24 miles total - second longest run yet - it has taken me a number of hour to recover - I am doing well now -
