AM Long Run, aka Tour de Lakes. Visited Tipton Lakes via Terrace Lake, and then on to Harrison Lake, followed by th crown Jewel of Columbus: Grand View Lake. Wore the hydration pack but used pockets for phone, charger, and some food in the form of Clif Bars, Lara Bars. Carried a handheld for water. Long and slow, and some wierd little pains in some wierd spots (achilles, and abs?). They were fleeting and brief little "stabs" that went away, but, a little surprising. Guess I haven't really taken the mileage back up to this volume in a while. Yesterday's harder run probably didn't help with pushing the envelope.

Stopped to pee a couple times, and overall was pretty chill with stopping to take some pics and brief walking stints. 24.1 miles took me a while - 3:33. Stayed away from people, and it turned really pleasant when it started to lightly drizzle near the end of the run. Good day and end to a solid week. Onward and upward to even better stuff.

3:33 is cruising for a run that long, especially solo. Do you use a run belt for the phone? I too like to take some pictures, so just wondering what you use to hold it.

Thanks, Mike - appreciate the kind words. On anything over 3 hours I wear my Ultimate Direction hydration pack. It is probably my most favorite piece of gear. :) Other times, I just carry my phone in my hand. I'm kind of weird - I have tried belts, and cannot stand them for some reason! :)
