Today I am going to rest - schedule says to run - but I've had a busy weekend - Let's just say I got home at 7am this morning.

July 28
Group Run -Central Park
14.2 Miles - Holy Crap!
2 Hours 17 Minutes 52 Seconds
Pace - 9:42
On only 4 hours of sleep.

It was really hot and humid yesterday -So hot and humid that when I 'dried' off a bit - i just had a layer of Salt on my arms. I rubbed it off and had a pile of white salt on my shorts.
The hardest part about this run, and what I think slowed me down was stopping for water - I had a bottle that I carried for the first 6 miles - but then I drank it all - so i would stop at the fountains in the park for water - (i'd stop my watch). And when I re-started, my knees were just telling me to F-off - then I'd get them back into a zone - and it would be time to stop again. I also tried Eating while running for the first time - I ate a rasberry flavored gel pack after an hour of running - it was not that bad tasting - it just is really thick and was hot from being in my shorts.
