Before this run, I was considering taking the day off. My shin was hurting just while I was walking. We were supposed to do 20 or more, but walking by itself was hard enough. I stopped At Vitesse and stumbled upon a shin strap. Bought it and decided to run. Thank God.
Saturday group run. About 10 of us met up plus Justin/Abby brought bikes. Started out a little hard, plus was humid. Stopped a few times early, definitely tired. Decided to push pace, up there with guys that were just running 4 miles. At 5 miles, ran around quad.
Matt, Travis, Justin, Abby, and myself headed back out on the trail. Pace was still respectable. Lost Travis @ bathroom. Headed out on Bunn St, pace was getting harder, but still i thought it was manageable. Even considered doing over 20 miles. Hill @ mile 12 killed me and had to walk a bit. Matt moved ahead of me, but we were still w/Abby. We stopped at the top and took a short water break. Sweating really hard, but no shin/IT pain. Started back very slow, felt quite dehydrated. Got some H20 and felt much better.
Matt & I split up for some reason, but Abby stuck with me. I had to stop a few times to stretch out my IT, which was bugging me. At the very end, pain got bad and i had to walk last 200 yards. But having Abby there plus being hydrated definitely helped and was able to run last 3miles at a decent pace.
Total Distance: 19 miles
