Notes
Wow.
Wow. That was really far. And really cold.
It's funny to think that every step is one step further than anything I've ever run in my entire life. One step times about four miles.
It was more than 16.46 miles. I didn't know about the detour when I mapped it out. I'll do it later. That had to add at least .5 miles.
I'm qualifying for Boston, damnit!!
<update> Okay, so my legs are not feeling peachy 9 hours later, with at least six of those hours spent either standing up or getting into car accidents, so I'm guessing that I'm not going to feel very good tomorrow morning. Ugh.
I ate some of those energy jelly beans (orange flavored) at about mile 8 and had no problems keeping them down, and felt pretty good afterwards, so maybe it's just the lemon-lime flavored ones that gave me a problem. I wasn't brave enough to try the gels, so I'll have to save those for later.
But yeah, I definitely had some hip pain in my right hip, first time in a while that it's really bothered me. It could just be the underarmour tights compressing the nerve that goes across the bone in my hip, but I was not feeling dandy.
But overall, I'm happy with my run, it was pretty kickin'.
