mileage run #14: 16 miles!!!
holy crap! 16 miles today! (here's or course via motionbased.com and mapmyrun.com).
this was a great day for a run. a thick marine layer that stuck around until we were done, cool but not cold, slight breeze... perfect. bandaids over my nips so no chafing, didn't have any overheating problems, barely sweat. just overall a great day. i did manage to injure myself last night moving my tv around... not very smart. dunno what i was thinking. i ended up straining my right achilles tendon which flared up and reminded me of it's presence around mile 6. after that it was a matter of just blasting the heavymetalmusic™ and trying to ignore it until the end of the run... not easy by any means but i did it. gotta ice this puppy now.
once again we had our support crew of robyn and teresa meeting us every 3 miles or so to give us water, orange slices, cold washcloths, etc. seriously don't know how this would even be possible without them! if there are any other runners out there looking for a support crew for hire these girls are the best! in fact i may have to be their manager or something. hmmmmmm....
we're taking a break from the long mileage runs while max, robyn, jim and teresa go gallavanting around hawaii. then on the 30th it's 18 miles. GAH!
