First 29 km

Did my first 29 km today. That's not really an amazing feat, as I had run 28 km a couple of months ago. I took it slow, running most of it at a 5:30/km pace, but with hill and stops, averaging a 5:40/km pace.

I was glad to find that I didn't get sore (other than an incipient blister on the bottom of my right foot, which got prompt blister-band-aid treatment mid run) and I wasn't particularly tiered. In fact, I had to keep reminding myself not to pick up the pace in the last few kms.

I am a bit sleepy-tiered now, but it's at a level where I am working, but not really 100% on my game, and not at a level where I have to take a nap on the couch. A year ago, even 12 or 15 km would have me sleeping on the couch for a couple of hours and hobbling around like an old man.

The body adapts.
