Seriously…am I out of my mind?? What on earth possessed me to map my 20 mile run around Summit Ave.? I think I was feeling a little invincible after my 16 miler and thought I would step it up. I mapped out a 5 mile run which included Summit Ave and Chestnut Hill Reservoir and planned on running it 4 times. After the 1st time around, I realized I made a big mistake. If the hills are as steep in NYC as they were on my run, I will die. I re-routed my course, added some mileage on more flat ground and ended up having to climb up Summit Ave 3 times instead of 4.
Have you ever eaten salt plain? It’s disgusting. I had horrible leg cramps starting at mile 13 to the end of my first marathon, St. George, 5 years ago. A runner suggested salt tablets another source suggested fast food salt packets. I had neither, so I took some salt strait from the shaker. It was gross, but I was cramp free.
My legs were hurting so bad after running though. I was still a mile away from home and had to walk. I wanted to lay down and die on the sidewalk. But I didn't.
Surprisingly, I felt pretty good the next day.
