it's the sweet sixteen club. i ran 16 miles yesterday and i feel fine. this posting is a day delayed because after the run i was tired and took a long lay down rest until company came over for dinner.
the lessons learned from the training yesterday are many. the main one is to give myself time to get there. it was a 3 hour run and to get there takes patience. then there are some other things that i need to remember heading out on a long run. i took water with me after 8 miles and that helped.
i did pit stops to refuel and drink at 8 miles, 10 miles, 12 miles, 14 miles and at then at 16 miles. After I finished the run, i stretched many times on the walk home. i think i should have drunk more water. i did a last minute change to run on saturday instead of sunday due to work. this put running during more of the day's traffic. this made it harder to cross streets and dealing with the non-runners out there is not fun but some folks are nice and give you the right of way.
i guess the goal continues on and i must rest up and keep training for the next long run in two weeks.
