Fall? Really?
Another warm running day, which suits me just fine. I love my new Lululemon seaweed shirt, it is great to run and spin in. It wicks and fits perfectly.
I ran my first solo long run today- 9+ miles in 85 minutes. I felt great, until about 6 miles in when my knees started to hurt. I stopped a couple of times for quick stretches, and right near the end the pain subsided, but then came back strong as I stopped. Weird. I’m going to look in to some preventative measures. After I stretched they were fine and didn’t even hurt going up and down the stairs just now.
The park was beautiful with all the trees turning. The crowds around marathon set up were not so beautiful, oh well it was a short part of the run.
My IPod kept me company since Matt couldn’t. I wonder if the race allows them next week- a good song can really pep you up as the miles increase.
I tried an energy shot about halfway through with no ramifications and a bit of a boost of energy, so I’ll definitely use a couple during the race. I was feeling really good despite the knee pain for the whole run. My next long run will be the 1/2!
