14.5 miles on the mill!

Ah, yes...another successful long run on the treadmill!  I wasn't so bad...14 miles.

I decided that in order to make it the full distance, I had to watch something that would gain my undivided attention and distract me from the countless miles. And since since the next disc of Dexter wasn't scheduled to arrive in the mail until Saturday, I broke down and went to Blockbuster. It was so worth it!

Anyway, back to the run...I worked up to an 8:30 pace over the first mile. Then, I maintained an 8:30 pace for about 5 miles, at which point I took it up to 8:00 min/mile. I kept that pace going for another 6 miles and then increased it again to a 7:40 pace for the remaining 4 miles or so.  For a cool down, I walked about a half mile, then stretched out my legs.  The only break I took was around 10 miles to toss some chicken in the oven.

Afterwards, I had ate a chicken breast, a salad and some homemade dill pickles, washing it down with some fat free milk, chocolate soy milk, and water.  Yum.  For dessert, I had a few chocolate covered blueberries and a few sips of blueberry wine. Granted I didn't feel so well after all that, but recovering from a long run usually takes time.
