The long run this past sunday was my longest run ever. Let's just say it did not go as well as planned. I ate a big pasta dinner the night before, got to bed pretty early, kept my alcohol intake limited the night before, etc. However when you get a cramp at mile 10 of a 21 mile run, and it just won't go away, you know you're in trouble. This happened to me and I just couldn't shake it. I ended up having to walk for a minute every few minutes, and when I wasn't walking, it wasn't a very impressive pace either. My goal had been 3hr. 15 min (which is a pretty modest time to begin with), so I was pretty off with 3hr. 33min. On the positive side I actually wasn't that tired at the end of it. It was mainly just the stupid cramp which 'cramped' my style. At least I was full of energy and my legs didn't feel like jello which has happened before on long runs that I wasn't prepared for. The next test will be to see if dancing like a prick (as Ali G once said) to Paul Van Dyk will have any positive training results this upcoming weekend.
