Notes
This was difficult. Did an hour solo, which was fine, no problem. Park and Sam met up with me after that and we ran north. Was feeling good until about 12 when the ankle pain set in, which made me nervous. Lasted about three miles and then faded. Pace started picking up and 6:50s didn’t feel easy but it was smooth enough. Probably bc of the higher mileage this week. Was feeling woozy around 18 so just focused on getting to the armory to get some water. Did that and felt much better about five minutes later. While I wanted 22, I had the thought in my head that it might be better to try to finish faster feeling this way (dead). Hit 20 and tried to push, last uphill had me woozy again but it was short and I pushed through the last 600. All in all, I think this was a good experience for me. I don’t think I can do something like this again before the marathon and feel fresh for that race so I’ll try to get creative the next couple weeks. Gu at 45/1:30/2:15. Did not like them but they stayed down fine. Need to figure out the water situation too.
