I thought I could handle 12 miles; I wanted to run 14 to get in 30 for the week; I wanted to run 16, since that is what I should be running for the marathon.
I decided to try the 16. I felt good the first 10.5 miles, but faded fast. I completed 15 miles, but walked 99% of the last 3 miles. I didn't realize the toil it took on me until later. I mean, I felt good, and when I didn't, I walked. I drank 3 bottles of PowerAde - 1/2 a bottle before, the rest after the run. I HAD to take a nap, and felt bad the rest of the day. I was asleep by 6:30, and woke up at 8:00 Sunday morning.
My time was 2:49:10. Pace: 11:17.
