Today we tried something totally new and also today was the first time that I have ever ran 16 miles. I run my long runs with a group of people that have water stops around every 3 miles or so, however, today they went to run at another spot. Therefore, there were no water stops. (I had to carry my own water). Anyway, I ran 11 miles none stop for the first time in my short running life. I felt great, however, after mile 14 my body and mind started to give in. Luckly I train with an excellent runner and he kept me going all the way so that I could finish my miles. Nevertheless, it was a very good run. |
