I threw on the Starts, filled a hand held bottle, grabbed a couple gels, and put on my headphones. The temperature was climbing by the minute, but I needed a 3+ hour run. I ran through Brooklyn and made my way to Prospect Park. After two loops of the park, I ran to and over the Manhattan Bridge and then went back over the Williamsburg Bridge, which led me home. 3 hours and 22 minutes.
Overall, I felt pretty good, which was surprising. I was fully expecting dead legs for the entirety of the run, but everything loosened up after a couple miles and I felt great (despite the heat) for about 3 hours. The last 22 minutes of the run were pretty brutal though. I started feeling a bit dizzy, probably the heat and low blood sugar. When I got home, I downed some gatorade and everything seemed to level back off. Only 3.5 weeks until Poconos...
