AM  LR - 50k Out and Back on Columbus People Trails.  Starting out, the left calf and hamstring were so tight that I didn't think the running motion was possible.  Took a mile or so to loosen up fortunately.  Tried to stay in the grass where not too hairy or rutted.  Got a little warm and was humid the whole way.  Handheld of water drained ~ x 2 and ate 4 gels (Huma).  Gel number 4 immediately did not agree with me and choked it down slowly.  Really struggled over last couple miles.  31.1mi. - 4:24:30.
