July 10, 2011 Sunday 41 days to go.
Today was my longest run yet - 3 hours. I prepared my food - mini mars bars and my fuel belt with 1 water flask. Started out wearing new Newtons, no knee braces. Fuel belt set up the way it was wasn't going to work, so headed out without it.
The plan today is to test nutrition and to run by the house every 5 kilometers as if it was a water station. Looking at the possibility of running without a fuel belt to save a couple of pounds.
First fuel stop I ate my mini Mars bar - yum - and drank a little water. I took off for my next 5 k. Next fuel stop, I changed back to my old Newtons, the new ones felt hard on the soles of my feet. I also donned knee braces. Tried cutting up mars bars and putting them in one of my water flasks. Took a flask of water and wore my fuel belt. Half hour later I tried to get the Mars bars out of the flask. It was really hard. That is not going to be a solution. Continued on for another half hour and tried again to have some water and Mars bars. They were stuck in there. Finally got them out. Wondering if making a pocket for my shorts might be the answer. Finished the run. I feel really wiped out. It may be more than just the run. I feel like I am fighting a bug too. My toes were really sore, especially the left foot. Are my shoes the right shoes? I don't know.
Knees are swollen, but not hurting too much. Put my compression socks on and they have made everything feel better. Lorne also massaged my toes and that helped alot too.
Weight: 152.5 lb.
