This afternoon I ran 11 miles. It felt great to finally get out there and get it done.

It was a beautiful day. Temperature was about 44 degrees…full sunshine and little wind. I began my run around 12:45 pm. My overall pace for the whole run was about 9:45 min/mile. I packed my New Balance water belt. I filled the water bottle completely full as well as the additional 5 oz bottle. The 5 oz bottle I filled with PowerAide. By the end of the run…all the water was gone. While cooling down, walking home…I finished the 5 oz of PowerAide.

I felt like I could have run at least 4 more miles without hurting too bad. In time… 🙂

I took a shower and later took a nap. I’ve got a week of midnight shifts coming up. I’m ready to go!
