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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
