13 miles

After practically not running for a week.....

(I know, I know...)

I ran 13 miles today along the beach. It was flat, sunny, warm, and relatively easy. I again struggled through the first 3 miles with my breathing but after that it was fine. Ran at a 9:04 min/mi pace. When I reached the halfway point, requiring me to turn around, I felt like I could keep on going. Even the final, massive hill was easily conquered and I kept up my flat beach-trail pace all the way up!

Booyah.

I tried to consume one of those "Gatorade Recovery" drinks afterward and it was barely consumable. It was like drinking a thick, sugary syrup. The flavor was lemon-lime-orange. I do not recommend it at all. I think I'll just stick to regular Gatorade which seems to do just fine at replenishing my electrolytes.
