My second 13 miler

After my "day off" yesterday, I decided to attempt another 12 to 13 mile run. My previous run went well but left me with about a week long recouperation. After a rather tentative start, I gained confidence as the miles slipped by beneath my feet. I was starting to drag about an hour and a half into the effort but I knew that as long as my muscles held out the effort I put into the latter stages of this long run would pay off. I finished in two hours and 9 minutes with my energy pretty well spent but no serious problems with my muscles. My quads are very sore but I can already feel them starting to recover. The next 3 days will be easy ones for me, alternating running and riding. I hope to shoot for another 60 mile ride on saturday.
