17.1 Miles
2 hours 46 minutes 30 seconds
Pace: 9:44
Today was HARD. One thing I hate, is wearing a water belt, it is added weight, and messes up my stride - but at this distance I have to have it. Plus I was not running in Central park, so I didn't have access to water fountains (which I hate stopping for anyway).
The first half I felt great - during the first 8 miles I was running a 9:18 pace. Then somewhere around mile 11 or 12 I was hurting. I was getting a weird cramp near my ribs (which went away finally). At one point my left ear kept feeling clogged, I had to keep popping my ears. I was drinking water, and eating my gel - I just don't think it was my day.
But I still ran 17 fucking miles - stopping only once in cunningham park to refill the bottles on my water belt.
And of COURSE I took a nice shit afterward.
