Time: morning
Where: Burke Gilman and Lake Union
Workout: 14 miles, beee-atches!
Notes and observations: It was a long time and I believe I have hit the maximum number of miles I ever want to run at one time. It wasn’t that bad, actually, though my legs began to ache at the 60-minute mark. I did do something wrong with the gel situation. I tried a 2-gel routine where I usually do just one. But last time I was so dead for the last 2 miles I thought I’d at least give it a try. Now I know that won’t do. I got a bad side stitch in mile 12 and even did a bit of some walking. I hate to walk and avoid it if at all possible. It wasn’t possible. So. For race day I’m thinking just the one and then finding a water station with gatorade and trying that on for size. Time was 2:21:17. Not too off the mark considering the walking I had to do, but far slower than the pace I was holding the last two times I did 12 miles. But, I did it. That’s really all that matters at this point.

Music: Who do you think?
