Long Runs -- 9/18 - 9/24

[Grog]

I crossed the finish line not too far behind the old guy. I had a time of 1:14 exactly--that ends up being 10:11 minute miles---not too bad! I really wanted to average 10's, but I won't complain.

Wait...

did you say you ran a 1/2 marathon (i.e. 21 km) in 1h14m?????

Wow!!

Thanks for the report, I can't wait to be ready for my first 1/2... (in the spring)

I have a 13 km tomorrow morning. Sweet weather is forecasted... Will report.

Ooops, 2 hrs and 14 minutes Sorry.

Anyway, the ganglion cyst is not as soar as it was. I tied my laces around it so there is less pressure and I took advil before. I actually didn't notice too much pain this time while I ran, although it hurt pretty bad at the end of the day.

Oh well, at a 10 mile and a bit pace, that's great in any case!! Glad you foot is feeling a little better... hopefully you'll be good when the time comes to run twice that.

I had my longest run to date today, 13 km on generally flat land (which, around here, means very gentle ups and downs), on pavement, some concrete and some trail. I'm running with a friend and I must confess that sometimes I'd rather run with music, I'm fairly sure I would stay more motivated, but it still went really well and I'm looking forward to adding a couple more to break the magic 15.

Ran soon after jumping out of bed, so I took a half-full water bottle with me and a Clif gel (feels like raspberry jam!). I am sure that helped me feel much better than I would have without it. I'll probably try the camelback next time so I can have my hands free...

I love this thread!
