10 mile run
(1:44)
Faster
than I planned to run, but I wasn't sure what to expect. Since this was
my first 10 mile, I wanted to take it easy until I felt comfortable. I
could have probably ran it around 1:30, but I shuffled with my running
partner until I got to mile 5, at which point I increased my pace
steadily. At mile 9 I had plenty of energy to push about a 7 minute
pace, and finally sprinting the last 50 yards.
I ate a
half cup of oatmeal, a Starbuck's Berry Refresher, and only drank half
of a shake (1 cup of berries, 1 scoop of protein, 1.5 cups of water). I
took a Gu shot at mile 5 and a Gatorade at mile 7.
My left knee
has been a little tight and slightly painful at the insertion of the
Biceps Femoris. Rolling and stretching for recovery. One more race for
this season, (Jingle Bell Run 10k, Chicago)!
