I was going to do two loops of CP plus one lower loop; I adjusted that in my head to two loops plus running up to E. 90th, then down to the finish for tomorrow&#8217;s Continental Airlines 5th Avenue Mile; I ended up actually turning at the north part of the museum and stopping just across the street from the finish line.  When I looked down, my shorts were streaked with salt.  I only lost about 3 lbs. in this run, but exhaustion is apparent.  Oh, and I did this starting after 4pm.  Here are the deets:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/50494773'><\/iframe><br \/>\nI worked somewhere around 65 hours this week.  Despite that, I got in some running but I had trouble getting it in later in the week given how late we were going.  Because of a predicted wrap time of 2:30am yesterday, I chose to go the energy drink route and had a Rock Star Zero Carb in the morning before my calltime.  Then, at lunchtime around 7pm, I had a Red Bull Sugar-Free.  When I wrapped at 3:30am after over 15 hours at work, I was still pretty awake but also feeling a little bit of a sore throat (from the caffeine? not sure) so I had an antihistamine to get me to sleep.  I work around noon, had some eggs and a bagel, then tried to sleep until 3pm.<\/p>\n<p>I had two PowerGels and a nice amount of water over the run.  The energy drinks notably dehydrated me and I was left with cottonmouth for much of the run.  I ran a pretty slow pace of 8:19s, sometimes hitting paces above 9:00s, but it was warm and it was a long run so I wasn&#8217;t too worried.  I was a bit sad I didn&#8217;t make it back home, choosing to subway instead.  But I reason I need <em>some<\/em> energy for my 1-mile race tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>When I got home, I bathed in ice water, had a Gatorade Recovery drink, and ate some pieces of chicken.  I believe I&#8217;m having pasta a little later to restore glycogen.  I still feel a bit under the weather and really tired.  I think some of the drain may be from the caffeine and antihistamines, not just the run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For today&#8217;s run, I started out with a bit of shock.
