Notes
23.01 miles, longest run of my life. Goal was to run 22.3 like last Friday, but weather was good and the running was fast so I decided to keep going for extra distance, up to a max of three hours. Decided 23 miles was enough. Legs hurt like hell again after the running was stopped; much more painful after the run than during. Cramping in calves again also. Was able to drive myself home after about a half-hour. Temp was 63 and sunny start, probably 67 and hazy at finish. Some wind from the SE, so a bit of a headwind going out (east).
Breakfast was 2 cups of tea and one banana, so only 300 calories. Ate one of the particularly nasty Clif Shot Gels from Wal*Mart at 6.6 and again at 13.2; wont be buying those icky things again! They're way too thick and pasty and hard to swallow.
Ate a bit extra yesterday, but not enough since my weight was not up much. Resting pulse this morning was a bit high at 47/48, probably a bit of adrenaline from thinking about running long. BP was high this morning. Didn't sleep much again, tinnitus has been especially severe recently and seems to be getting worse.
Start time, 9:29:59
Stop time, 12:28:40
Running time, 2:55:24 (7:37 pace)
Stopped time for water, 3:17
Total time, running+stopped, 2:58:41 (7:46 pace)
PF in right heel; mostly gone, was barely noticeable today. The Gel Piranha shoes (size 10 w/inserts) are basically worn out after not very many miles. Need replacements before the race.
