Had a great run/adventure yesterday. Ran 20 miles in 5hrs 14 min. Very cold and windchill was severe, we were happy to finally get the wind at our back around 10 miles in. 20 miles is definitely my limit in 16F weather with 30mph wind. Wore double socks but feet started to get really cold at the end. Nutrition worked reasonably well. I drank 32oz of orange powerade, ate 4 peanut butter cookie larabars and one peach-mango baby puree. Stomach was feeling a little off near the end. Will try mixing up the larabars on next run. Quads still very sore but no advils. I spent 1 hr in the shower with hot pressure jet on my quads. This morning no DOMS. Hot water instead of ice/cold baths works for me as I'm not experiencing any cramping. I've organized another long run for next weekend. I'm hoping to up my distance to 30 miles. Right now I can't imagine running 40 miles. My 40 mile race is June 14 - 4 months to get my training in. Also very pleased my weight only fluctuated by 2 lbs. I made sure to hydrate well last night. This morning back at start weight.
