Notes

Two words: wind, rain.

Knee pain post run - runners knee. I wore shoes that were too new for this long of a distance. All I could think about as I was parking was getting out there to get started. Forgot to fully stretch out after stretching at home and paid the price. My left knee cap was extremely sensitive and painful minutes after stopping this run. Never felt it during the 3 hours but soon after I stopped the pain was immediate. Began an icing and stretching regimen to get rid of this knee pain before Columbus.

I haven't run in more wet conditions. It was absolutely pouring rain. I was fully soaked in 5 minutes; deluxe chafing ensued. Bought bodyglide to alleviate this in the future.

Of course the battery in my footpod died after 7. I was on my own for knowing what pace I was at. Not good this late in the training to be guessing speed.
