other wise known as running 13.1 miles on the sun! So today was a little experiment -- running 13.1 miles through Disney's California Adventure, Disneyland, around Anaheim inside Angels Stadium and back to the parks. 13.1 miles is actually the longest run, i've done in a while (most recently I did about a 10 mile training run).
The best thing I can say about this mornings run is that is over! First off, getting up at 4am...not fun! It had to be about 80 degrees by the start of the race at 6am (still dark out) and 90 by the time the sun came up!...and apparently there is no shade in the city of Anaheim! Apparently, from people I ran the race with, I went out a little too fast...and i guess i ended up paying for this, as I finished quite slow. I was hoping to break 2 hours, but ended up doing 2:05. I knew it was not meant to be when i had to walk at the water stops and then at mile 11, i had to walk for about 5 minutes...needless to say i bonked!
