Wednesday - October 6th (12 miles)

Well, I changed up my pattern a little today. I got up and it was a beautiful day outside. I decided that I would attempt to run 13 miles. I went to the Y and headed for the trail to the canal. I got to the 3 mile mark and then went on to the JCC (that would be the 4 mile mark) I was having some issues with my GPS so I timed the next 2 or 2 1/2 miles. I turned around at 1.15.58. I ended up running back to the point where there was 3/4 miles left and had to walk. At that point, I had run for 2.30.
The walk took me back to the Y and it was over.

I needed to change up my routine a bit and I also wanted to see what it is going to be like running for that length of time. Some key things learned from today. You need to carry more water and I needed some food after about 1.40. I am going to try to gel on the next run.

I am going to add this into my routine 2 times a month - it was really fun.
