Last 20miler...um, well, 19 is close enough. I thought I rested enough this week but my first Capoeira class on Tuesday night reeked havoc on my thighs. I haven't had to squat and move like I did in Capoeira in a long time so my inner thighs were screaming at me.
We only ran 16 miles all week but I am feeling tired and a bit burned out. I thought I'd be okay to run my last 20miler on Friday with Jess (before her Puerto Rican bday weekend). However, I was feeling it by mile 7. The 3/4 of a mile uphill on 9th St was torture. Running down Vanderbilt felt good but it was slower and my legs felt really, really heavy. Plus, it was windy, windy, windy. We had to reroute a few times b/c it was so windy that we felt like we were standing still! Jess only ran 13 and I met her 2.5 miles in so at mile 15.5 I was on my own. I decided to run around Cadman Plaza track so I wouldn't have to think, just go in circles. I hit mile 19 right as I was about 2 blocks from my house and considering I felt like a drowned troll, I decided to stop and not push it. Knees, hamstrings, feet were all hurting.
I then had quite the adventure trying to track down my new sneakers - the Mizuno Wave Elixirs! I had to have a certain color so the store uptown sent them to me but they got the address wrong so I had to find Sami on Bergen St. After a few phone calls to UPS and lots of funny conversations with the bagel guys, the pizza guys, the hot dog place next door, I found Sami and my sneakers!
