Sunday and the Long Run...

Another late night, but at least I got to sleep in.

I was a little slow getting started today, my head hurt a little and it was the first time I really wasn't looking forward to my long run. Although the weather is better, it is still not ideal. Today it was 8 C and windy, which makes it hard to decided what to wear. I really want to start running in shorts and a tee-shirt, but that wasn't going to happen today.

Today's run was a lot of hills in the Niagara Escarpment and I ran for 1 hour and 45 minutes and covered just over 12 miles. I averaged an 8:45 pace, which wasn't bad considering all the hills. My left calf had a few "twitches" and my left hip was a little sore, I'm hoping it won't go any further, hopefully some massage and anti-inflammatory medicine will work.

According to the calendar, in exactly 6 weeks, I'll be competing in the Florida 1/2 Ironman. That's not that far away!
