The morning started quite early.  We were off at 3am.  Temp was 78F and the humidity was a mere 90%.  Didn't take long to start sweating.  Overall it was a really good run.  Felt strong still the last 5 miles.  The only bummer was that I'm not sure exactly how far we ran.  It was at least 26 miles but I think it was closer to 27 and maybe even 28.  oops.  I was well hydrated for this run and was able to keep my electrolytes up.  My stomach was not very fond of the Luna moons this time around.  Had a piece of bread with peanut butter and a banana about an hour before I ran and it seemed too much.  Next time I will eat a bit less.  I took Monday off as I was very tired because Sunday after the run was a very busy day.  Still tired today (Monday) but will get out to do some running tomorrow morning.

 AP was somewhere between 10:58 and 11:43

 need to get a Garmin!
