NYC Marathon 6 Mile Training Run

To follow my new format for logging my runs, I’ll report in with a longer run that I did during my vacation in New Hampshire.  I intend to get 10 miles in this weekend but I wanted to keep my general mileage higher so I went out for a 6 miles run.

Here are the stats of the run:

Nutrition

Breakfast was cereal with almond milk
1 cup of decaf tea

Time of day

I began the run at 11:50 a.m.

Weather

It was 75 degrees, overcast and 69% humidity with a light breeze along the lake

Fuel on the run

None

Gear

Under Armour running shorts, hot pink sports bra with more support and no clips in the front and a tank top.  New sneakers.

Pace

I walked a little on some of the big hills; but maintained my 30/30 for the entire run.

Post Run

I felt fine after the run.  Drank cold water, had a turkey sandwich and enjoyed time at the beach with the kids.  From time to time when I walk a certain way I do feel my right knee’s issue talking to me but it doesn’t affect my run.

When I finished my run I definitely felt like I could have gone farther.  Had I had water and a little fuel with me I think I could have done 10.
