Yesterday's Long Run & Today's Work out

Yesterday I had planned 13-14 miles but just before leaving I realized that the reservoir/bladder to my hydration pack was leaking. I couldn't take it with me and therefore I didn't feel comfortable going longer than 10-11 miles without some form of hydration (I will not carry a bottle damn it!!!). It was only 57 degrees but 94% humidity, so I figured I would try and see how far I could go without dying.
In short, I made it 11 miles and was able to stop at a gas station to get a drink of water... from the sink (yuck). I ran the 11 miles in 1:46:53 with an average pace of 9:43 min/mile, the first mile being the slowest and the last mile being the fastest (surprisingly).
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:31
Mile 2 - 9:55
Mile 3 - 9:40
Mile 4 - 9:37
Mile 5 - 9:37
Mile 6 - 9:35
Mile 7 - 9:32
Mile 8 - 9:40
Mile 9 - 9:39
Mile 10 - 9:39
Mile 11 - 9:27

I was considering going for an easy 2-3 miler later that day with Dorian, but my upper thigh / lower butt cheek has been complaining since the run so hopefully tomorrow morning it'll be feeling better. The rest of the day I took it easy... ish.

This morning, as usual there is no running on Monday but I do go to the gym. Today is/was focusing on Biceps, Triceps and Chest and Core/abdominals. 85-90% of it is at the gym while the other 10-15% (?) is throughout the day at home or work.

So far this morning I did 2 sets of 200 Bicycle Crunches and 1 set of 25 push ups on the stability ball (shins on ball). I am hoping to get in a total of 5-6 sets of 200 Bicycle Crunches and 4 sets of 25 push ups on the ball and 5 sets of 20-25 regular push ups. We'll see how it goes :)
