alright Rainy, humid long run 20.3 mi 03:16 09:38 pace

This sucked. Popped UCAN 30 minutes before heading out the door but forgot my usual banana I eat with it. Probably why i felt a little empty!

Rained for the first few miles, then I got to enjoy the wet, mid-90% humidity for a while before getting to enjoy a little more rain on and off.

Went from my apartment to the east river, around battery park, up the west side to 59th where I crossed to Central park. Did the loop clockwise till I hit the 65th Street exit and took that out of the park. Then took the streets home. Garmin said 20.0, Nike+ said 20.7 and gmap-pedometer said 20.3, which is what I marked it.

Knee and hip were cranky for most of the run, but worse was my left foot which cramped due to a gait change from running with wet socks/shoes. Felt DEAD after, though nothing some stretching, icing and nutrition didn't take care of.

Why do we do this to ourselves again!? =)

    Oh man. Good work toughing it out, though, Ben! How'd you do w/ the UCan? Did you have to gel at any point?

    @lora - made it to my goal - 13.1 miles and then popped a Gu. Followed with a second Gu at 17.5. Other than that, nothing but Nuun water.
