Notes

First time running over two hours. Doozy of a run. Ran the first 6 by myself ==> 6.1 in 44:40 (7:20 pace). I had some G chews at the start. After 10 minutes of shaking out I went to the bathroom and then went on my merry way. After 6 I met up at the armory with Henry, Cobert, and Brandon. I had two more chews and we headed to Parkland. Started at a decent pace and once we were there we were cruising along (~6:50's). I was thinking about stopping for water at 1:35 but I did not and I regret that decision. I hit a wall around 1:45 since I have never run longer than that. I just ran out of energy. I wasn't too sore or anything, just tired. I slowed down probably to 7:20's and after 5 minutes Brandon came back and slogged along with me for 5 minutes. I regained some energy a bit later and got back down to sub-7 pace for about two miles. Once we made it past Green I was pooped. Jogged to the Armory and called it.

Overall, very happy with today. I know going forward that I should probably get some nutrients in me around 1:30, but I made it through this without having to go to the bathroom and I kept up a positive spirit throughout which was good. I'm glad for the help as well. I don't think I'm going to train longer than this because there is just not enough time, but who thought I'd get to this point with the shitty August I had. 3 more weeks, let's not get hurt now.
