Able to get one more big run in. Did not set out with definite goal but wanted at least 25 miles, then figured why not make it a marathon distance which turned to might as well go for 50k.
Left from Palm Harbor, heading north up Belcher, then left on Klosterman then over to the Pinellas Trail heading north and kept on going past US19, along Keystone, across Eastlake, some more on Keystone then north up the Starkey Gap Trail across SR54 and onto Starkey Blvd. Stopped at the bike shop for a can of Celsius and a honey stinger gel. Probably should've refilled water, but seemed ok at the time.
Up until mile 13, heart rate was in 120's or a little into the low 130's. Mile 13 was still at 135, so still mostly easy.
After that I became less disciplined, slowly was getting a little faster each mile. After the Celsius was going even faster. Still felt really good. Kept going up Starkey Blvd and into park. Got off the pavement for a little bit and then back onto the bike trail running by the planets and a little past Pluto (planets cover 1 mile), turned around and then stopped at the bike parking lot bathroom. Refilled water at fountain but pressure was low, so a little bit slow filling.
Was at 25 miles when leaving that stop, hit the marathon distance, still feeling good. After crossing SR54 and back on the Starkey Gap trail picked up the pace for a strong finish. Hit the 50k mark and a little past that then ended the run and decided to walk the last mile in.
That walk turned out to be more difficult than I thought it would be. Stopped in at Escape Brewery. Filled up water bottle and ordered a wheat beer (supposed to be good for recovery). The beer did not help, was not enjoyable so got up and paid, walked outside and didn't make it too far until I had to stop and throw up. Haven't done that in a while and not sure if I've ever done that because of a run (came close after some 5ks). Felt better after that, walked slowly to my house and took a nap while waiting for Jessica to come pick me up. Stella came in the room and brought me a stuffed elephant to play with which I declined.
Stopped at Grain and Berry for a bowl, that hit the spot. Was originally going to go out and finish up shopping but did not. Watched Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer with the baby. She liked it except for the snow monster. She hid under the blanket a couple times when it showed up.
