Another personal best!
10.5 miles in 1:38:33. That’s a 9:23 pace for my longest-ever-yet run.
I started out with my regular 4.4 miles out to the start of Chrissy Field and back, and added a jaunt to the end of the municipal pier. Then I was feeling pretty good so I decided to see how far down the Embarcadero I could go to add a little more distance. Bing the big dumb perfectionist I am, I went all the way out to Third and King at SBC Park. And back. 4.4 + 0.5 + 5.6 == a very modular 10.5 miles.
Feels great! I was pushing my heartrate the whole way. Starting not to care about that. If I can do 10+ miles at 180bpm it can’t be that bad for me. I usually don’t run until my legs hurt, but I sure did this time. It’s all muscle pain though.
The kicker is that I went to my gym to take a shower and found that the showers are under construction for the next three to four weeks. So Now I’m stinky in my office and looking for a place to wash up.
Also pissed off because I only get 70 minutes of play on my iPod while running before the battery dies. I get more than that if I’m not running, but damn.
Plus I think my iPod erased itself when I plugged it in at work today. Now THAT sucks.
When I’m running, I can run
When I’m running, I can run non-stop for almost 5 1/2 hours without losing my iPod battery. If I’m not running, just sitting or walking around, it lasts almost 9 hours.
You should have yours checked.
BTW, you smell bad. You need
BTW, you smell bad. You need a shower! Pwhew!
You can run non-stop for 5
You can run non-stop for 5 1/2 hours? I’m surprised. I figured since you run so fast that you must not have as much endurance. Clearly I was wrong.
Yeah, I’m one of those
Yeah, I’m one of those “human marvels” you hear so much about. Most people are built either for speed or endurance. I’m built for both. I don’t brag about it, even though I’m a truly amazing man.
