Workout: medium-long run 11mi.

Looks like this is going to be a tough week, when the "recovery" run at the end is only 2 miles shorter than today's medium-long run. Luckily I've gotten used to running in the AM, which gives me the benefit of cooler weather. The obvious drawback is that by 9pm, I'm falling asleep on the couch.

On the return leg I almost got cleaned out by some old septugenarian biddy on her bike, who took the corner wide before she slammed on her brakes. She started to say something to me about how I should "slow down", while I stared in disbelief...from the right side of the trail. I cut her off pretty quickly with some choice words which included the key fact that she almost hit me...on the right side. End of discussion.

GEL REPORT: After mile 8, I had a Clif Shot Strawberry Gel. Not so great. The taste was overwhelmingly strong and more chemical-ish than strawberry-ish.
