Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
ran long. longer than ever before. by time and by distance. huge accomplishment going into the season, and it makes me feel very confident knowing that i can run this much comfortably. that's not to say it wasn't tough-- my legs are hella sore, but it was good.
ran with john and josh probably for the last time. we went to chattahoochee river and ran the loop a few times for 6mi, then went out columns drive for 2.5, and detoured through some trails on the way back so we were at 12ish when we got back to the park. it's all real flat, so that was nice-- towpath type surface too, except for the part on the roads. john and josh were going to do 15 with me, but decided to go 14ish. so i was stuck running 4 alone. it wasn't terrible. my shoes were pretty wet, and the insole of one had folded up onto itself. i was drenched in sweat, but it was still overcast, so not too hot. surprisingly i didn't get too thirsty. i tried to run a little faster for the last 4. i don't know if i succeeded. i was tired towards the end, and my legs were pretty heavy, but overall it was a good run. got some gatorade and bananas after finishing, then went down to the river to stretch and sit in the water a bit.
