Notes
Skipping the B&A half-marathon tomorrow in order to do this long run today and another one next Wednesday or (more likely) Thursday. Felt strong, esp. in the legs, and feel less worn out afterwards than I'd expect. Last couple miles were a struggle, though. I sped up for a few miles before that but couldn't maintain it. Main discomfort was heat, which is unfamiliar these days. I wore a long-sleeved shirt, and it's really humid today. Only water source was a tiny hand-held in one hand, which I refilled twice at Patrick's fountain, amidst the mobs. Ate two gels from a spibelt, also new. Ravennas felt awesome, but a blister on my left achilles developed early and bled through my sock. Shaved last night for the first time in around 9 months, which no doubt made me faster.
