Week 7: 4 miles/5 miles/4 miles/11 miles

Ran my 4 miles in Florida and then back up to the cold. Met my niece down east for my Tuesday run which I thought was supposed to be a 6 mile run. We ran all over Lansdowne, got lost but made it back for my dental appointment to replace my crown that had fallen off while in Florida. Thursday's run was a short 4 miles. And I did 11.9 miles on Saturday, again down east in Countryside. The roads were still icy out by our house and I didn't want to have to worry about slipping. Had been at a Caps game Friday night and spent the night in town -- had two glasses of wine and didn't sleep that well in a strange bed so Saturday's run was a bit challenging. Continue to use Cytomax and tried Hammer Gel Espresso (with 50 mg caffeine) this week. I liked the gel. 90 calories/0 fat/40 mg sodium/23 g carbs/0 protein. Stopped and stretched several times during the last 4 miles. Pace for the long run was 13:00. For the short runs 10:54 this week.
