You can't tell from this picture really but I can't believe I'm smiling - after my longest, and most humid run ever, I am 100% drenched. Not a dry spot on that dri-fit tank or shorts.
Holy wow. 10 miles. Over and done. A little over 2 hours and my longest run by about 30 minutes (and .7 miles). I figured I should blog before I take a nap or it'll never happen. Started off fine (toast w/ PB for breakfast at 4:55 a.m.), it was
very humid, but around mile 4 I was feeling the impact. Thankfully we had about 5 water stops today. Around miles 6 and 7 I had a few Sport Beans. By mile 7 I was lagging, wondering how in the heck Ill
ever run the 26.2 miles. The last mile and a half or so were up a bridge, and I was not having it. I resorted to a walk for 2 or 3 minutes then a shuffle downhill. At the end I was so glad to be done and nothing hurt or ached but I was absolutely soaked. My shorts were dripping, and the built in underwear were hanging off, soaked like a diaper. Ugh. It felt disgusting. We were all pretty much soaked. One lady joked that she felt she'd fallen in a pool. Afterwards I had some water and ate a banana on the way home. Once home, and out of the car, my legs were weird and I walked into the front bumper (didn't feel very good) but after a shower and some icing I just feel tired and ready to take a snooze for a bit. So glad that's over with and so eager for winter to get here....
