31 miles in 4:46:32 (9:15) on the driveway-north ridge one-mile loop, changing directions every five miles. It was 37 degrees with a wind chill closer to 30, and there was a steady to hard rain for most of the run.
Despite the conditions, I felt good for much of the run, logging sub-9 min miles for Miles 1-13, sub-10 min miles for Miles 14-22, sub-11 min miles for Miles 23-28 (with the exception of Mile 26, which appears to have been an aberration), and I finished strong with sub-9:30 miles for Miles 29-31. In fact, I had planned to run only 30, but there was still light left in the day:)
As for fuel, I had one pedialyte (50 calories, lots of sodium) mixed in a 20oz water bottle at Mile 10 and 22, as well as five crackers and a few more ounces of water at Mile 18. I took one bio break in our cabin, which was the only time I stopped watch (probably about 90 seconds).
