Not much of a mark, it seems

Did a nice trainer spin of 20 minutes or so of actual pedaling yesterday evening ;-) to loosen things up a bit...

...and then proceeded to rip off a pretty standard lunch hour vo2 ride today, so it seems as if not too much damage was done by the longest run of my life on Sunday! More importantly, my knees are staying pretty healthy. In the past (and even as little as 6-8 wks ago!), I've had some issues with ITB stuff (I presume).

For me, it seems as if the knee issues are all related to pace - if I go below 8 min/mile on a run longer than 8k, issues start to come up.

Anyway, interesting running adventure I'm on!

Some Runnin'

I wonder how big a "mark" this half mary @8:30 ish pace will leave...

Yeah, i've been doin' some runnin' lately in order to mix it up a bit.

Guess I'll find out tomorrow just how much damage I did with this one!

;-)

ps- I've taken off the blog comment moderation, as it seems like my "stalker", the infamous Andrew Coggan, PhD has taken a hiatus! LOL! ;-)

that being said, let's hear your tips for me about carrying fluids/fuel on long runs like this one. I've been using a Nathan hip-style pack that my sis in law got for me many moons ago with pretty good success. But, I'm always open to new thoughts/input - so give me some knowledge nuggets on how you carry fuel/fluids on long-ish runs!
