This evening I did 17.57 miles in Central Park in an evenly paced 2:23:10 (8:09s).  The temperature for the first loop was 89, which eventually diminished to 86.  It felt like almost no heat at all, though, because the humidity was around 35%.  Here are the deets:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/40968827'><\/iframe><br \/>\nInside the 11th mile, I developed some pain in my left calf.  At first it felt like the calf injury I sustained recently creeping back up on me.  It actually got me to stop to stretch it (Ouch!), then stop soon after to stretch it (Ouch!).  While I considered dropping out of my run after the second lap, instead I treated this injury as a mental test to endure 18 miles (well, my 17.57) despite it.  I invented a term for this kind of endurance: &#8220;despit endurance.&#8221;  &#8220;Despit endurance&#8221; means &#8220;enduring despite something.&#8221;  In this case, calf pain.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, and some mouth-filling swarms, the run in the evening had nothing notable to report.  I ran after a 3-hour nap that came for whatever reason.  I did two loops and my third loop was sans Great Hill.  I finished at the light pole on the feeder entrance to the park.  Over the course of the run, I stopped a nice amount of times to fill up on water.  I didn&#8217;t weigh myself before my run, but after my run I weighed just about 169 lbs.  I probably dropped about 6 lbs. today.  And Garmin said I burned 2,440 calories in today&#8217;s run.  I think for me that&#8217;s about a day&#8217;s worth of calories.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow looks like a rest day.  I will probably need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A calf cramp and running through a few swarms of evening insects didn&#8217;t stop my long run today.
