Heat, Humidity and 10 Miles on Route 12

My final run from down at the outerbanks was a 10 mile recovery run. My brother-in-law Robert accompanied me for the first 2 miles, and then I was on my own. I went a little further North and turned around. I did the next 5 miles South on Route 12 and then turned and headed North for the final three. No water stops like in training back home. I had to create my own. I stopped at Burger King for a refill, then twice at Harris Teeter. Once on the way down South and one last time on the way back North.

The heat and humdity were blistering and suffocating, but I am glad I am done. My back is fine, my shins are fine, my feet are naturally sore. I spent the rest of day with the family at the beach and the water was refreshing

The next 2 trainining runs will be from home, then a reovery run next week for 10 miles again, in preparation for a big 23 miler.

Thank you for your moral support and donations in the fight against AIDS!
