So it's done. I turned 30 and I'm none the wiser. But I did run 16 miles on May 17th to work at the Bossier Parish Courthouse, I worked a full day (in compression socks, of course), and after the docket was done, I ran 14 miles from the Courthouse to Bear's for some drinks with some good buddies. Pretty cool to have some friends that are willing to drink beer until 10pm on a Tuesday to celebrate my birthday.
The 16 miler took 2 hours and 15 minutes (no stops), and the 14 miler took 2 hours 10 minutes (a couple of stops for water, Snickers, Powerade, and some filming).
Adam Causey filmed the morning run and the footage looks downright professional. I filmed the afternoon run and it looks pretty sorry. I hope my editing does Adama's video skills justice, I'll keep my footage to a minimum, and I will have that posted asap. Cannot thank him enough.

Mike McHalffey and I barely know each other, but I run with his downtown crew now and then, and we see each other at races around Shreveport and New Orleans. He runs with a group that leaves the YMCA everyday at noon -- two weeks ago I ran with those guys, told them what I was up to, and Mike said he was game for the afternoon leg of the 30-miler. He said he'd be at the Bossier Public Defender's Office at 4pm ready to run. And he was. Awesome.
I have a feeling you'll see his name again on this blog . . .

| My favorite picture from that morning. The video looks really cool too (thanks Adam). |
Really appreciate Adam and Mike and all the folks that came out to Bear's. Thanks for a great 30th Birthday.
A great day for a run, and a great way to start being all mature and stuff.
