Week 13 Summary
Scheduled: 37-38 miles
Ran: 42 miles
Cross training:
Rock climbing
Tried doing push-ups mid week but the collarbone is still too sore for that. It's fine otherwise.
Group run notes:
Last night: Ate a ravioli dinner.
About 45 minutes before the run: Ate 2 eggs on a whole wheat bagel. Drank 1 cup water
Weather: Cold and windy. ~32 F. Substantial wind.
Attire: Yellow & white Supernova Classics, short synth running socks, cotton boxer briefs, black synth warm up pants, blue synth long sleeve shirt, green GoLite synth wind shirt, black fleece hat, grey glove liners, orange mirrored sunglasses. Put bandages over my nipples this time because they got raw during the Martian Half marathon last weekend.
Arrived on time. Stretched during group announcments. Stood in circle, announced name, event, planned mileage for the day, current pace (about 9.5 min/mile). Didn't stand around long because of the cold wind.
Warmed up the first 0.5 mile with Ken and Sarah. Ran solo until about mile 2.25. Met up with a young woman named Kim who was running the same pace.
Ran the extension road to the nature center, which added 3 miles to the loop. Met up with Sue, whom I had run with at Kensington many weeks back, on the way back along the extension. Saw Annabel and her brother along the extension, too. They had arrived late and were only scheduled for 12 miles, so didn't see them again. Ran the rest of the way with Sue and Kim.
Stopped for water and PowerBar Gel at mile 5.75. Stopped again for same at mile 9 (full loop). Ran another 3.5 miles and then turned back to add 7 to the 9 (total of 16).
Vision was slightly blurry near the end of the run, which was something I remembered happening last weekend around mile 14. Kim had the same thing happen. She said it was likely due to low glucose levels.
Had a strong headwind 50% of the time, which was difficult but nice when we turned a corner and it became a tailwind.
Cooled down by walking, going to the car to get my water bottle, drinking the water, and eating a bagel. Went inside the shelter and streched extensively. Ate another bagel. It was a cold (but thankfully short) walk back to the car.
The bandages worked great.
Got a cup of coffee from Carribou on the way home. Mmm... raspberry mocha.
People met:
Kim - Approximately 24-25 years old. Lives in Clawson. Will be running the Bayshore Full. Approximately the same pace, might be a good running partner for the event. Went to Hope College. Just was accepted at Wayne State in their Occupational Therapy program. Ran the Old Kent 25K (15.5 miles) a few years back and was looking for another challenge.
