Ran 10.5 miles -- I was just trying to make sure I logged my distance and wasn't worried about pace. I still ran 10:30 miles, basically, with a few 11:00s in there when I started to fade at the end. Went the whole run without gels or sports drink -- tried not to stop/walk etc either, but took breaks at 4, 7, 8, and 9 mile markers. I could've skipped mile 4, but wife needed a drink. I usually take a gel after 45 minutes to 1 hour of running, but having nothing but water, I got super tired as evidenced at the multiple breaks after mile 7. Lately I've been feeling strong at mile 7, so I attribute that to the gels. Maybe next week if I go back to the gel I can log a whole run without stopping, we'll see. I need to try to log all the appropriate mileage this week -- get back to the 30's.
