The weather was beautiful this morning. I got out the door at 7am. The marine layer was still quite heavy. I held an 11 minute/mile pace through mile 10, and still felt good until around mile 13. The last 7 miles were a bit rough, and I finished with an overall 12 minute/mile pace.
I ran with the softer insoles again, and my feet didn't feel so pounded. It didn't bother my ankles.
This time, I remembered the BodyGlide. No chafing!
My legs never felt so tired as they did at the end of this run, but I've never run 20 miles before.
After I cooled down and stretched, I got Brennen up. I was afraid to stop moving, knowing that I would seize up like an engine without oil. Once B was up, which took almost 2 hours, I iced and took a nap. Never was a nap more desired and needed! This time I wore the night splint on my right foot, so I could actually walk when I got up.
We hosted a party at the house from 4 to 8, and I was functional! However, it wasn't hard to let others do the BBQing.
Friday, I stopped at Runners Factory and tried on bunches of shoes. I decided to try the Nike Air Structure Triax 10+. After wearing them around the house last night, I decided the toe box just wasn't high enough. The structured cushioning seemed about right, though. The search goes on.
