Notes
This run was pretty tough. I started out running with Chris but when the first mile came in just over 12 minutes I decided to pick it up a bit. Miles 3-7 were sub-11 minutes which, now that I look back, were probably a little to fast. I ran with John for several of those miles which is why I probably picked the pace up. Ram dropped out with an injured knee about 2.5 miles into it, he didn't seem to happy.
We ran into the Galloway bunch just before the loop and it was crazy. Most of them were walking and I was dodging people for about a mile. It was at least entertaining.
I was feeling pretty good most of the way. Around the 12 mile mark my left ankle started giving me problems and for the first time both of my knees felt sore. I started to get a hot-spot on the ball of my left foot also because of the sweat build-up.
The last two miles were really slow. The sun was in my face and the temperatures started rising. It was tough to start running again after hitting the coolers and filling up the bottles.
I consumed two Cliff Shots during the run. One at the one hour mark and the other just over the two hour mark. Before the run I ate a full peanut-butter sandwich and after the run I ate two wheat bagels.
