Trail Note

I've been a little lax in my running for the latter half of last week, but I did get a 15 miler in on Saturday morning. According to the training program I'm roughly following, I was supposed to go 16, but I felt pretty good about my efforts. It was very hard. I felt pretty bad throughout most of it: tired to start, with knee pain in the last 4 or so miles. I averaged about 9:30 pace, which I suppose isn't too bad (just need to carve another minute off of that for the marathon!). Despite the fact that I drank half a camelback-full of water (about 30 oz) durning the run, I still felt bad for the next hour or two after the run, catching up on liquids.
