First long run

this weekend I completed my first multi hour training run.  I ran 7+ miles to Washington Crossing Park, ran 6.6 miles of trails with BCRR group then ran 7+ miles back home for a total of 21.2 miles.  Everything felt great till around miles 17.  My left calf started to cramp a little.

A day later I ran another 11.5 miles in 95 degree heat. Left calf felt just OK and I did run in a compression sleeve.  I now realize I need to experiment with S Caps!.  Hopefully that will eliminate cramps in the future.

This weekend also marked our first trip to the Jersey shore, or what folks everywhere else call the beach.  I was pleasantly surprised how clean the beach was but the water was frigid, around 70 degrees.  BRRR!

54 days till 50k
102 days till 50 miler
