I went harder than planned... couldn't help it. Felt a bit stiff but good overall. The new shoes felt good, will have to test them on a longer run before deciding if I'll use them for the marathon.

Quads and hammies are fine to go longer but probably not harder. Lower legs, calves/shins, still sore. I'm wondering how smart it would be to run through that soreness.

Last comments about sunday's race. The more I think about it, the more I think I failed to adapt my nutrition to the course. My long workouts, those that I used to practice nutrition, were on essentially flat terrain. That nutrition plan worked wonders on flat courses, but, the energy spended on hilly terrain over a similar distance is probably much greater and I did not change my calorie intake. That led me to visit Bonktown. Needless to say that I will make sure it doesn't happen again!
