P90X Round 3 Day 70: 20 mile run
Mar 29 2009 16:16

That run was fracking hard!

The last week I have been recovering from a really annoying cold, so I decided to not run and I also did not do the P90X workouts. Just slept more, drank vitamin enriched juices, good food, continued the no caffeine and no artificial sweeteners.

So, this run was my first since the 6 mile run I did at the beginning of my cold while I still could breathe well enough to run.

I started a little after 11AM and ran the 20 miles.

Here's my run.

About 10 miles of the run was up and down very very steep hills. That's what killed my legs.

At mile 17, I hit the wall. I never really knew what that expression meant till today. I hit the wall. I could barely move my feet, my calves were starting to cramp, so I took a long long break and stretched out before running the remaining 3 miles.

My overall time: 13:30 minutes per mile.

I'm happy with that.

Now to rest for a bit before I go grocery shopping and off to Church.
