Sunday, October 26

Ran 10 miles. (Actually, it was 9.7, but I'm rounding up, because I ran the last half mile carrying 2 bags of groceries, and I usually round down.)

Started at 5:10 pm. Time: about 2 hours. (Stopped timer to go into grocery store).

Weather: about 50 degrees, very windy (30 mph from the north)

I wished at times I had worn sleeves. I had a jacket, but most of the time did not wear it. I hate wearing anything on my arms when it's above freezing! But the wind did bite.

Walk breaks: 0.05 mi every half mile. (Miles 7-9, no walk breaks)

Listened to: (1st half) bluegrass instrumental music; (2nd half) Electric Light Orchestra

I was very tired throughout the run, due to lack of sleep and a big day, so the whole run was a slow jog. Some of the terrain was cross-country.

I have always heard about Body Glide, but I found out that it is not that great. I had a free sample from a recent marathon. I've always gotten along great with a Ziploc baggy of Vaseline in my pouch. It's cheaper, comes in less packaging, and does not break off in solid clumps. Works better, too! I'll just stay with that.
