Very simple run: I wanted an half-marathon at marathon pace (4:30/km) and this is what I got. I woke up later than I planned and I didn't start until 8:40 am when the sun was already up and running, I didn't have any problem to keep the pace until mile 12 when dehydration, heat and the perspective of having two big black toe nails materialized. I didn't have any water with me in the car and by the time I was home 10 minutes later, I was really dehydrated, I usually check my weight before and after medium/long runs and today I lost 2.5 kg. My toenails on top of that were,as expected, dark and gingerly painful. This was related to the new wave inspire shoes, last week I bought the wave fortis and with those I got two huge blisters on my left foot, so right now I don't have a good new pair of shoes to run long distances, without having foot problems, except for my 2000 miles old wave inspire. The only good thing it was my time it took me 1:35:00 for 13.1 miles (I intentionally slowed down big time during the last 0.2 miles to finish exactly in 1:35:00). Now time to ice bath and a few napping hours.
