Today was my longest run before the race. I was supposed to run 12 miles. I picked out my course by mapping it out on google maps. I ran from my house to El Toro, to Trabuco to San Canyon and back. That was supposed to be a little over 12 miles. Well I wound up being 14.5 miles! Ugh. I ran it with a 11:45 pace. I did a lot of walking on the return. I wore me out and the first time I got cramps in my legs.
I need to get more rest and more carbs before my long runs. After the run I took an ice bath for about 15 minutes. That made my muscles feel much better. I have 2 weeks to my first half marathon. And now I know I can do the miles!
