The first being the marathon itself.
Today, at mile 17.5 is where I really started to question my sanity. I think I was waiting for the runner's high to kick in. If that means that you start hallucinating and a voice in yer head says "You know, walking would be good", then, well I hit the runner's high.
I ran the 20 in 4:12:02. That's a 12:39 pace. Slower than a dang snail. Oh well. I had like 3 bathroom breaks, two in the first 40 minutes. I also had some funky things going on with my heart rate too. I would barely start out, and BAM 150bpm. And this was with barely any effort. Interesting.
I tried a different gelpack today. Carbboom Strawberry Kiwi. The Apple Cinnamon was too over-powering for the senses when all I have been taking in is water and lemonade Accellerade. It tasted ok, but the gag factor is still there. Good times.
OK. Time for me to pass out while the wife has the kids with her looking for Halloween decor.
See ya out there!
