Longest run

This must have been the longest run I've ever done. Not in miles, I once did 14 miles, but definitely in time: 2 hours and 47 minutes. I ran 13 miles in preparation for my first half marathon of this season in two weeks.

It was pouring with rain so my feet were wet and heavy throughout the run. The course was twice golf course and twice Whole Foods, and the golf course trail was covered with water on many places so I had to run through mud and water a number of times.

Still, it felt pretty good and I am happy I did this run. For the first time ever I did an ice bath after the run. Scientific evidence that it helps you recover is scarce, but it did feel good (remember, my legs were very cold to begin with). At night I took two Advils, and that helped me greatly. Normally after a long run like this I sleep pretty bad; feverish. I slept great last night.

Soaking shoes.

I finally had the battery in my watch replaced on Saturday
