When I stepped on the scale after today&#8217;d long run, I weighed 170 lbs.  I sweat a lot in today&#8217;s heat, which was around 78 degree per Weatherbug.  Humidity was around 60% but it felt non-existent.  I ran in the afternoon, which provided a nice amount of shade but the sun was pretty hot.  I did 12.31 miles at a 7:52 pace.  That is considerably slower than last week&#8217;s long run on Friday, that was also in 64-66-degree weather.<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/37444047'><\/iframe><br \/>\nI ran in my new Wave Precision 11s, but to avoid tingling I left them looser on my feet than usual.  That may have been why I ended up with blisters, which developed in the middle of my run.  The added room presumably left room for my foot to slide around a bit and cause blisters.  Other than that, nothing in my body bothered me.  That&#8217;s great!<\/p>\n<p>I did hit E for Empty about 3\/4 the way through my second loop of Central Park.  I had a PowerGel and some water-fountain water but I could barely get any speed.  I was decimated to my base state of &#8220;Keep one foot going in front of the other, Ben,&#8221; when I was just about to start walking.  For this reason it was a great run since it challenged me to endure.  I picked up a little speed toward the end but not too much.  Part of the motivation was trying to catch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elizabethcorkum.com\" target=\"_blank\">Elizabeth Corkum<\/a>, who had begun her long run just a little before me.  I never saw her, and I learned she waited for me until about 5 minutes before I finished.  Darn!<\/p>\n<p>Why I hit E had a lot to do with the heat, but possibly also because on set yesterday, I didn&#8217;t get to eat very much.  My lunch (dinnertime) timed out weirdly so I basically skipped lunch, and for some strange reason crafty did not come around much with food after lunch.  This meant I was the most starving I ever remember being in recent memory, come the end of the evening.  At wrap, I cabbed back home and got Oglio &#038; Aglio with Chicken from Euro Delights&#8211;which I&#8217;m also eating right now as I type this because I&#8217;d gotten so demolished in my energy (and I have a race in the morning).  The lesson is: Make sure you&#8217;re consuming calories!  Being so hungry yesterday didn&#8217;t help me, it seemed.<\/p>\n<p>I did the first loop at a decent clip, finishing it just under 47 minutes.  The second lap was slower and I stopped twice for water breaks but they didn&#8217;t last very long.  What I didn&#8217;t do in today&#8217;s long run was to listen to NPR&#8217;s <em>On the Media<\/em>, which in the past seems to have slowed me down.  I did load it onto my mp3 player, but I decided against listening.  I&#8217;ll listen another time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I stepped on the scale before today&#8217;s long run, I weighted 175 lbs.
