Notes
Ran with the Gulf Shore Running Club with about 50 runners... all ages. Left from Lowdermilk Park at 6:00 and did O/B to end of Gordon (see map). Ran with Dixie (62 lady) who did half in Naples last weekend placing third. She was struggling at the end and we slowed down quite a bit. She kept telling me to go on, but I was a gentleman. My hip flexors were killing me and I have to wonder if it was the pace. I don't run 9:00 minute pace well...When I got back to start a bunch of the "fast boys" who knew I was running Boston asked it I was still going to do my 20 were it was so hot and very humid. The running club had two big coolers with Gatorade and water. I recharged, filled my water bottles and headed out for a few more miles. I ended up repeating the O/B loop for a total of 19.2 Actually felt better once I picked up pace. The humidity was brutal and really caused me to struggle toward the end, but I wanted to keep progressing. This run was supposed to be 8:23 for 20, off a bit, but considering condx not too bad. Very low mileage week, but two good runs. Need to up it next week.
