Today is the longest run I've ever done, 12 miles. My first 6 were more brutal than the last 6. I had stashed an ensure protein drink (not milky) & speed beans that really helped that second half (got them at mile 7). I got a little side ache but nothing that stopped me so I'm glad I found out how to get energy:) It was cold & windy so I was really layered up today. I dropped off my gloves & scarf at one point & then picked them up on the way back which worked out great cause the wind picked up again. I need to figure out how to help my ankles on those long runs. I'm excited for my upcoming races!
