Well, it had been about a month since I had run more than 10 miles, so I decided I had better do a long run to make sure I didn't lose any endurance. It was actually quite a bit more difficult than my last run of this distance, which was 2 months ago. Back then I did 13.1 in 2:03:25, and this time I hit 13.1 at 2:03:10, so it was slightly faster, but I think the effort required was much higher this time. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I won't be able to achieve my goal at the Monster Dash in 2.5 weeks. Here is the GPS data.
One thing that was nice is getting to test an outfit to see if it would be good to wear during the race. Now I know what I will wear if it's around the same temperature (40 degrees). Afterwards, that interior calf muscle injury that hadn't shown up for a long time made itself known. I hope it doesn't hamper my training too much for the next couple weeks; I'd hate to lose any gains I've achieved in the last weeks before the race.
