Notes:
Weather was perfect (well, as posted last week, perfect = cloudy/cool day). However, I ran an unfamiliar route (am in SD right now with my sis) and boy was it hilly; the first mile alone was terrible. Immediate hill/incline. Not exactly the best way to warm up! Anyway, there were flat spots but overall, I thought it was all hills; my old blister started to hurt towards mile 7 or 8. Thankfully, it didn't get worse and I was able to finish the run. My average pace was 12:56 min/mi which is good considering the unfamiliar and harsh terrain. Burned about 1,914 calories +/- the Jelly Belly Sport Beans I had — two every 3 miles and one in-between each mile after mile 12. I just have to do all my long run trainings until the end of the month and I'm hoping to be ok during the marathon!

Long Run Training: 20 miles
ARGGGGHHHH!!!
I want to choke the developer/s who created the Nike+ for iPod and while we're at it, the iTunes developers, too.
I had to restore my iPod back to original factory settings cos iTunes couldn't read it. Naturally, the data stored about my 20-mile run this morning was deleted, as well. Loverly. You'd think they'd store that stuff on a separate partition or summat. *sigh*
Luckily, I hand-copied my run info for posterity but now I can't update it on Nike+ — and I cannot update the challenge I created, either. PAH!
Oh, it's partly my fault this happened. I realised I hadn't had a backup of my songs on my laptop so I decided to use YamiPod to transfer all the songs. Big mistake. Nano 3rd gen doesn't like 3rd party software on the iPod. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What was I thinking. >_<
Congrats to my sis who met the 20 on the 10th challenge. FSCKING iPod! I'm not running another 20 miles tomorrow just to get it updated on Nike+! LMAO!
