Today I ran an 18-mile race in Long Beach Island, NJ. This was my first time running and racing this distance so I instantly have a new PR – Yeah! Unfortunately, the weather conditions were brutal. A very sunny day and the temperature was 85 degrees. Also, the race had a later than usual start (10:30AM) so it was already warm when we began. I was really hoping to finish in 3 hours but I missed that target by 8 minutes finishing in 3:08:30. Considering the conditions, I shouldn't beat myself up too much.
Right now, both of my Achilles' are SCREAMING so I've been trying to ice them for 15 minutes every half hour. I am hoping this is temporary as I do not want to have another injury.
Tomorrow will definitely be a REST day. I plan on getting a very good night's sleep tonight. There won't be much keeping my head from hitting the pillow tonight.
Happy and Safe Running!
John
