Ran 6.2 miles this morning, 2 miles of which were trail. It was an awesome run. I do have a little pain on the inside of my left groin and I am wondering what I am doing form-wise to cause this. Other than that it was a fine run and it took me an hour and five minutes. I ran with one of the 3 oz bottles from a newly-purchased (and just as quickly hated) fuel belt in one hand and my cell in the other, and it worked out fine. I took two sips for every mile and finished the bottle by mile 6. I figure for my half if I take both bottles and do the same, I'll go through both (and also take advantage of water stops.) It was nice to be hydrated throughout the run.

I might ride later today, but will definitely be riding and running tomorrow.
6.2 miles on 3 oz of water??? OMG! I carry at least a 10oz sports drink plus a Camelbak fanny pack with 40-45oz of water for an hour run.

Today I went out for a 2 hour run. It's my last long run before the race in 3 weeks. I went out early, when it was still cool and not windy, to one of the flatter local trails. I'm so pleased. It went great! I was at my turnaround point at an hour and five minutes before I knew it. I started to feel a little beat up about 2 miles from the finish. But I made it back in 2hr and 7 minutes. I thought I was going to be back faster than I was out, but somehow I was 2 minutes slower. Either way, that should be about 13 miles. I'm jazzed!
