18 Miles!!!!

This morning I did 18 miles. I had mapped out a there and back route from my house, but then decided it would be better to do 4 loops in Oyster Creek Park. I put a cooler filled with cold water and gu in my trunk, and parked near the rest rooms. Every time I did a 4.5 mile loop, I would come back to the car, get a new water, eat a gel and take a potty break. It worked out great. The weather was pretty cool for the first two loops, but then it rained (and that was nice), but the sun came out and it felt like a steam bath for most of the last two loops. I did mostly 1:00/1:00 intervals except for a few miles when I took long walk breaks. My total time on the course was 4:48, so I was pretty happy. When I finished, I changed into my sandals and promptly locked my keys in my trunk, but Stan came to my rescue. When I got home I took an ice bath which was difficult to do, but really helped my achy legs and feet.
