80 Minute Trails

80 Minutes on trails on Riverlin St @ 4pm. Ran @ Contois' pace primarily, dipped behind towards the end.

COMMENTS:

General: I was pissed, because I felt phenomenal on the run. I was very tired when we started and not fully hydrated but I finished that first 80 minutes without even feeling like I had run. Unfortunately I had to stop because my right achilles was acting up and hot pain kept flooding into it. Similar to what happened to my knee after/during the 20 mile run I went on in the late winter. I was glad I stopped because it was purplish/black all night.

Nutrition: Not good, but my cheats primarily come on long run days.

Body: Great, except my achilles is torched. Hurts to walk, slight limp....

Sleep: 7-8 hours

Reflections: All I can say is I'm glad I stopped. Going to let it heal fully before I run again at all, which is going to suck. 2 Weekends from now I'm going to attempt a 2-3 hour run if I am able to get trail shoes by then.
