Notes
A tale of two runs. The humidity dropped so it mad running much easier. With only 3 miles in two days coming into this run I thought I'd feel strong, but my legs were surprisingly dead. Eleni and I had decided to do a combined marathon today. The way I was feeling I would only gone 6-8 miles, but I knew she was doing her 12, so no way i was not going to finish my 14.2. I was slugging through 8:50-9:00 miles until I stopped home at 8.5 miles and drank a 5 hour energy. I didn't really except to help me physically because I only had 6 miles left. I was hoping for a psychological boost. However 5 minutes after I started running again, I totally snapped out of it and started to run so much better with the same effort. I went from 9:00 pace and did the last 5 miles at 8:16, 7:57, 7;35, 7:15 and I pushed the last mile, (with a steep 200 meter uphill) at 6:59. if I ever had any doubt that 5 hour energy works, I'm convinced now!
