Notes

This was not a good run. I walked most the uphills. It was probably about right for 10 miles, but after that my calves where so tight that I was in pain for the last 5 miles. It was especially hard on the last 1 1/2 miles where we had to go down the hill. This was also a difficult run in that there were very few flat spots. It seemed like there where almost no areas where there was more than 200 feet of flat. Usually it would be about 20 feet of flat followed by 50 feet of uphill then 50 feet of downhill. If it was just a few big hills, that wouldn't have been as much of a problem, but the continous up and down was a killer.

I need to train on hills a LOT more!!

I probably should not have give blood a on Wednesday.

Monday - Still very sore. Getting the results kind of added insult to injury. I finished dead last for my age group :^(
