Notes
That's okay until about mile 14 or 15. Left knee was pretty sore over the last 2 miles and really sore when I stopped. I felt pretty nauseous when I stopped and threw up a couple times later in the night. I think the nausea was due to dehydration. We spent the day at museums and I couldn't have a drink with me so I didn't really drink much water before the run.
For the red itself I started at shirlington the trailhead of the W&OD and just ran out 17 miles to Reston. Not a bad course for the most part. The only annoying part was in Vienna where the trail is kind of sloped to the right the whole way out so I felt like I was running on an uneven surface pretty much the whole time.
The stomach thing I assume I can fix the better hydration. I'm not sure what to do about the knee. I don't know if the vapor flies are not cutting it because they're 2 years old now even though they don't have very many miles on them. Got one more long run before the marathon. I guess I'll try my other shoes for that one and see how it goes? If I had had to go nine more miles at the end of this run my knee would not have made it.
