My limpy right leg <em>again<\/em> turns fine when I run, excepting the very beginning of runs when it is adjusting.  I started to wonder if it was a shoe thing.  My huge blister on my left foot had largely healed so I took off the skin last night, and it doesn&#8217;t seem to have blistered up more.  However, my toes on that foot developed tiny blisters (again), along with a bloody toe because of a lapsed pedicure I couldn&#8217;t get yesterday.  (My toes mold to each other, and it seems that one&#8217;s nail gouged the skin of its neighbor.  No pain.)<\/p>\n<p>But apart from the above, I felt pretty good.  I didn&#8217;t try to set any time records&#8211;only hopefully run under 1:50.  In doing that distance in 1:47:34, I did 7:43s, which was better than what I set for my Virtual Runner (7:45s).<\/p>\n<p>Part of my success is probably attributable to taking water breaks at fountains in the park.  I probably stopped about 5 times for water, for probably not more than 30 seconds or so.  I have realized that staying hydrated aids my running performance, and without it, my performance drops off.  However, despite hydrating, I did seem to ride dehydration a bit given some chills I experienced which seem to me to signal dehydration.  I had (water-soaked) pasta Thursday night for dinner, then on Friday for late lunch\/early dinner, and tried to keep hydrated on set during an overnight shoot I did into early this morning, and drank more than a bottled water before bed last night at 4:30am-ish.  I was partially trying to counteract a Redline 7-hour energy shot I mostly consumed to make it through the shoot.  (It didn&#8217;t pain my kidneys in the run.)<\/p>\n<p>I was awakened just after 9am by the postman and decided to get up for my long run rather than sleep in.  Now, I may nap.  I had a bit of energy after my run so I hit the gym to do abs, glutes, arms, back, and pecs, then just had some salmon sushi, chocolate milk, and Naked Chai Spiced Cider.<\/p>\n<p>I will deserve this pedicure later today if I can get it in.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: I found out that a) I actually did develop a blister in my big-blister section, and b) I dropped 5 lbs. today even <em>with<\/em> hydration!  It was a very sunny day and where there was sun, there was <em>intense<\/em> sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s long run&#8211;13.93 in Central Park, but essentially 14+ miles because Garmin got squirrelly on Great Hill (check the map below)&#8211;was done in tolerable summer heat.
