Comments:
First super long run. Ran down to the canal, crossed the river at Mass Ave bridge, ran down to the VFW hall, crossed there, then ran up to the Arsenal bridge then back around to DeWolfe on the Boston side.
Okay, trying to track the mileage using the runner's map and google...got 11.22 miles total in 2 hours. ran for 1.5 hours straight, which got me to the BU boathouse near Harvard sq more or less. Need a Garmin...

Oh, left hip gave me trouble at about 1.5 hours, so I walked for 10 minutes or so and ended up running much of the way back from DeWolfe, ran on and off, a bit of a blur. Had with me the honey packets and fouund 3 water stops. if it weren't for the hip, it was a perfect run. feel fine today, just a bit twingy. gotta stretch like hell. was a bit dizzy at work last night (yeah, had to bike to work with the bad bike after THAT), tried to take my BP but the machine was funky. i'll try again next time...tried to drink a lot of water to get BP back up. Not a big deal.
