I did not get up and out the door before dawn this time, Dorian had me up most of the night as he was dealing with some headache or something. I had gone to pick up my mom and brought her home to watch Dorian, and then I headed out the door at 10:20 AM. It was a little tough during the first 3 miles trying to find my stride and slow down, but I kept at it hoping things would subside. Eventually around 3-4 miles things did get better and I was definitely feeling good, so I was feeling pretty positive about the run.
It was 27 degrees with a feels like 17, winds at 10 mph W and sunny so when the wind was blowing I was feeling pretty toasty, but then would be reminded (by the wind) how glad I was for dressing the way I did. I was also glad I brought my sunglasses.
I ran 14.3 miles in 2:20:17 with an average pace of 9:49 min/mile, elevation gain of 321 feet and a loss of 333 feet. Strange, I ran .1 mile more than last Sunday but faster than last Sunday (2:21:42), but less elevation gain (383 feet) which is weird as I ran the same route. So weird, but I did manage to hold off on using a gu until mile 11:3 which is really good as I normally eat my first one around mile 8 or 9 but decided I was going to hold off until 2 hours so I managed to hold off until around 1:52:XX and felt good. It was the Mandarin Orange which tasted pretty good, I did drink more gatorade though to make up for it.
