Notes

Good long run. Not really sure on distance -- using an estimate from the same route from September 2007, but made some adjustments to the distance. Ran to 4.0 marker on Forbidden Drive and back. Physically, felt pretty good legswise. Had stomach cramps for the first 4 or 5 miles, then my left arm got sore for a couple miles, but after that I felt pretty great. Left arm got sore again on the way back for a mile or two as well, but not as bad, and it resolved again on its own. Right glute or whatever was as it's been on the last few long runs -- sort of noticeable, but not really problematic. Took water every 20 minutes, and Gu every 40 minutes (including before starting). Really pushed it hard after turning off the Falls Bridge on the way back. Splits: 1:33:59 out to turnaround (9:15 pace for 10.16 miles), 1:28:35 in (8:44 pace for 10.14 miles) -- 31:29.32 from turnaround to stepping off the Falls Bridge (9:06 pace for 3.46 miles), then 57:05.84 (!) from the Falls Bridge to home (8:24 pace for 6.80 miles).
