• 80 degrees, humid and cloudy

Notes: This run felt great for how long it was. It may have to do with being adequetly hydrated for the entire time or eating while running. Either way, great run.

Ultramarathon Training Run: (Longer LSD with nutrition and hydration)

• 17 Miles
• 25% Trail, 75% Road/Sidewalk
• A little elevation but no steep hills
• With Hydration backpack
• Drank about 3.5 liters throughout the run
• Ate 200 calories every 4-3 miles (Poptarts and bananas)
• Time: 2:22

Notes: Need to tape big toes, I got blisters on the outside of them. Pop tarts were pretty good but some variety would have been nice. 3.5 liters of water was not enough. I should have drank more.
