Gu

Today we did an 11 mile long run. This week, we took a camel back and packets of Gu (R). We had one 15 minutes before the run and then another every 4 miles. They were good. I liked the Strawberry/Banana and Orange. We also had Lime.

Anyway, the run was going great (under 9 minutes miles) until mile 8.54. Jason got a really bad leg cramp. My right leg was cramping too. I think it is because we make too many right hand turns. Anyway, we walked about a mile from mile 8.54 to 9.64. Then we ran until mile 10. At that point, Jason ran home and I ran the final mile in 8 minutes and 11 seconds!!

Overall, we ran 11.00 miles in 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 49 seconds. I was hoping for under 1 hour and 39 minutes, but we will do that next time.

Anyway, Jason and I went out today and got new shoes.
