RUN: 14 miles in 2hr 21 mins. No Garmin.
14 miles seems short, but MMR and my knowledge of TGP says it's true. But it's also the lack of autopause time that might be throwing things off. Waiting at intersections, etc. But does that really add that much time? No. I was expecting to have done 15 miles. And while I could write whatever I want up there, I can't lie to myself.
And why can't I have the Garmin charged and ready to go!?!? It didn't last 1 mile today before cutting out.
There was ice on the roads this morning, so I didn't start until after 7am. My goal was to take it easy, keep a slow easy pace (which might account for my shorter than expected distance) that I could sustain all morning. I kept slowing myself down a bit, maybe not having the Garmin was a good thing here, as it forced me to focus on perceived effort?
The run felt easy, simple, a little boring (I did almost 4 loops of TGP).
Even though I ran 2.3 hrs, I only ate one powerbar and 2.5 servings of Perform: a total of 375 calories. I'm doing pretty good at these low levels, but I'm not sure what will happen as I start to exceed 3 or 4hrs.
Speaking of which, my nutrition is slipping a bit. I'm once again relying on peanut butter for calories, instead of fruits, veggies, and lean meats. PB only has so much in the way of nutrients! And it falls in the calorie dense category, not the nutrient dense one that I should be focused on. So I'm going to make an effort to tighten down the nutritional aspect over the next few weeks.
