Longest Run Ever

21 Miles - 2:55:31 - 8:21 Pace

I have a new found respect for 26.2 Miles. Don't think I could have done another mile today, let alone 5.2 more. I started fast, as always, at about a 8:06 pace, which probably hurt me in the end. But I felt pretty good till about mile 14, my hamstring that keeps bothering me was giving me a hard time. I thought that was bad, but then my hips got into the act around mile 16, then my knees around mile 18. I think I had the energy and stamina to make a few more miles, (maybe I am kidding myself) but the joint pain seemed like it was too much.

I did try my first ice bath tonight, I will have a verdict tomorrow. But I did feel better once I got out....it sucked being in there though.
