Notes
the tail of good news / bad news ... the good news -- this is probably the best long run that I have ever had. Nipples taped up / held up -- feet felt great in the bigger shoes ... weather was perfect. I slept like crap as I always do before a long run --- i need to figure out a way not to get so anxious regarding same. The result of all these factors was a kick ass run -- fast and consistent. Here's the bad news ... I map all of my distances on mapmyrun.com ... I have this run at 10.1 miles ... I wore a Garmin and it came to 9.7 miles. The only thing I can think is that this course has about 40 turns on it and maybe the map is the middle of the street and when you run you "cut the corners" and shorten your distance. When I run at the beach i know those distances are pretty accurate b/c I have mapped in my car as well. They are also very straight ... 5-6 miles straight north and then the same rte south ... these home course that i map wind through all of these residential neighborhoods. Bottomline --- i am getting faster and stronger -- smelling the coffee!
