I have never ran 16.3 miles on a Tuesday before. I have never ran 16 miles on any day! I left my house at 5:00AM . . .I returned at 7:40AM. This morning was a quiet victory for me. I never really hurt HOWEVER late this afternoon and right now I am walking like an old Owen. I got home from my run, tore my shirt off, and in a look of confusion my 5 year old daughter said, "Dad, WHY do you have bandaids on your boobs?" I guess that is a fair question . . .
My left knee hurts right now and I am not sure if it is the beginning of runner's knee or just further inflammation from where I hit it on Sunday with the STUPID axe handle. Also, my right shin hurts. I told you I was an old Owen . . .always wanting to talk about my health like an 80 year old.
Drank 16 ounces of water the first 8 miles (with NUUN tablet)
Drank 20 ounces of water the second 8 miles (with NUUN tablet)
Was really thirsty at the end of my run.
Had GU at mile 5, 9 and 13.
Went to the bathroom twice . .I will leave it at that.
This is it . . .
