Notes
Got up early to watch the Olympic Mens Marathon. Bitter disappointment, and lots of excitement. Meb really got me pumped and ready to run. Very inspirational. He was in 20th at some point near the middle of the race and ran smart, coming back into 4th. Fun to watch..anyways on to my run.
With the excitement i went out pretty hard. Comfortable through 10 miles than i started to get a good hot spot on the top of my pinky toe. Come to find out i had a hole in my sock and my foot was rubbing against my shoe. Hurt, and really prevented me from knocking off some solid splits towards the end. Picked up my water bottle at 5 miles in with two quarter size Pinole and some Gatorade chews. The Pinole worked fairly well but hard to get down even with water. Going to try them again for sure. Happy with the run. Could call some portion of it marathon pace, but it turned into a more relaxed pace.
