Limes are great for gin and tonics, Timm. Oh, and key lime pie! If you seriously have too many, I'll definitely take some. We go through a lot of limes when cooking.

As for exercise, today I did my first 20 miler of the training cycle. As I mentioned earlier, I'm getting over a bit of a cold so I was a little worried how this one would go, particularly after running 9 yesterday which seemed harder than it should due to the illness.

Anyway, the run was alright. The start was better than I anticipated as it kind of helped me clear out the head congestion. The best part was the middle, around miles 8-15 or so. Felt really good at that period. After mile 15 I started to tire. By 18 I was pretty beat. I'd say the last 4th of the run was a struggle. It also started getting rather warm and sunny (70F) which made it more difficult.

But all in all a good run. I was definitely glad to be done with it and while I struggled through parts, that's all part of the process. My first 20 miler of the training season is usually fairly miserable.
