A run like Philadelphia

Some parts pretty, some parts downright ugly. 
But all in all, 10 miles were completed this afternoon under a cloudy sky at an average pace of 10:38 = not bad considering I took 3 extended walk breaks.

Here are some things I learned today on my run:
  • My husband really loves me (he called in sick today so I could run & have a break). 
  • I get sunburn regardless of the amount of clouds in the sky.
  • Clif Shot Bloks & Sport Beans DO NOT MIX WELL TOGETHER.
  • It's really hard to find 10 miles of safe roadway in Glassboro.
  • REALLY prefer Powerade Zero over water in my Camelbak.
  • I really suck at hydration.
  • Fiber One bars are yummy, but NOT on running days.
  • I have GOT to use the Foam Roller every night....my knee is killing me now.
O.K., sorry about the Debbie Downer post today.  I'm tired & need to get some sleep.  Only two weeks til the Philly half marathon. I'll definitely finish...just may not be the prettiest ending.  Maybe I WILL just do the Donald in January...it's a new medal...but feel like a wus if I don't do the full marathon.
