Long Run - 12 miles

Did my long run today. The first 2.5 miles I was a bit gimpy, I did my share of limping. After those first miles, I didn't have any problems with my leg at all. Towards the end of the run, I had a nice chat with a couple who were on the path. The man was in his 60s and was riding a bike, while the woman was running. She ran CIM (California International Marathon), while the man said he'd run 4 marathons last year, including Boston. I said really, what was your Boston time? He said, "It sucked!" He ran it in 3:47!

The route was a little different as well. My pastor told me that I could finish at 12 miles if I turned right in Sutter and ran to Butte House Road, then ran to Humphrey and back over to the trail again. It seems to have worked out, although I had to run on the street about a block to finish up 12 miles. Even then, the Garmin showed 11.99 miles.



12 miles, 10:01/mi average, 2:00:21, 1539 calories burned

Afterwards my son wanted me to take him to Red Robin. On the way there, he changed his mind and asked for Round Table instead. We split a small pizza, his half was cheese, my half was pepperoni. I ate the 3 pieces in my half, so I ended up eating the calories I burned. Oh well. :)

My leg feels great! Let's see if I still feel this good tomorrow.
