Today's splits --- 11:57 12:23 12:32 12:27 12:26 12:39 01:15 (0.1 mi) ------------------------------ 6.1 miles - 12:24/mi avg pace -- 735 cal
Yesterday was Parents' Day at Kristoffer's camp AND our 20th wedding anniversary, so Teresa and I slept a little late in the hotel this morning. We were still on the trail at Lake Hefner Park before 8 am and managed to push ourselves for 6 miles. My calves were a big problem and I used them as an excuse to stop and walk about 0.1 mile at the beginning of each mile segment. Hence all the splits are much slower than usual.
In addition to the calves, I had cramps in my left foot and a stitch in my right side. Then, as if that was not enough, I of course had both feet going numb around the 2.50 mile mark. That is becoming a regular problem with my left foot going numb first, then the right foot and slowly over a mile or more it passes. Consistently it seems to start in the 2.25-2.50 mile area. Annoying as heck.
Got the distance done though it may have been done in a furious waddle to the finish line.
Location: Lake Hefner Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
