It was absolutely amazing outside today, and Anna and I definitely took advantage of it. I ran 7 miles before meeting her to do another 7.15; then I finished that mile and ended up with 15 miles in 2:10 (we walked most of mile 14 and some of mile 15). The pace today was supposed to be 8:43, which would have been 2:10. Wow.
I didn't get every mile split, but here's what I got. 8:30, 8:25, 8:29, 8:26, 8:37, 8:41, 8:35, 9:15 (this was up into Percy Warner Park, where we ran the next 2.5 miles on a hilly road), 8:55, 17:28, 8:25, 6:19, 20:00
I think I did OK on nutrition: eggs, toast, and 20 oz water at 8:30; 8 oz ensure at 9:40; start running at 10:20; 6 oz water, 6 almonds, and 1 dried apricot piece at 11:30; 12 oz water and the rest of the almonds to equal 1 oz at 12:30 (the end); 8 oz water and 1 scoop protein at 12:50, and then the rest of the apricot pieces to equal one serving and 32 oz water. I definitely sweat out a lot of sodium and think that if I'm not drinking lots of Gatorade or other electrolyte-replacement sports drink, salted almonds are a good substitute. We'll see how I feel tomorrow...hopefully recovered and not dehydrated!
