Long Run

Whew.... I'm exhausted.

5:30 am start time. 11.01 miles in 2:29:03 = 13:32 pace.

Route:
My house > Trailwood Dr > Kingwood Dr > West Lake Houston Parkway > Turn around at San Jacinto River bridge > Reverse order home.

All went well until mile eight. Confident it was a fuel issue. Each time I took a GU, I was re-energized for ten-minutes. Continuing the run-10/walk-5 pattern. Only stopped once, at the YMCA to pee and refill my water bottle.

Bottom of my feet hurt. The entire run was on concrete. I'm excited to report my shins feel good. I feared they would be screaming.

Interesting notes:

Second highest mileage week this year.
Long run(s) over 11.0 miles: June 16th (11.0 miles), February 17th (12.0 miles), January 14th (26.2 miles)
