19 km

I ran 19 km late this afternoon. It was supposed to be this morning, but the bug that I've been fighting off this week continues to be a bit disruptive. It was about 5:00 when I was finally able to hit the road.

I was supposed to run 18 today. This wasn't one of those 'I felt good so I went another km' deals. This was a mapmyrun.com sucks situation. Mapmyrun.com shows a road in Richmond that crosses from Huntley to Shea Road. So as I ran down Huntley I was looking, and looking, and looking, and the realized I'd definitely gone too far, and I turned onto the next street. I worked my way through a neighborhood and eventually found my way to Shea, after going about an extra km. Note that google maps does not make the same mistake as mapmyrun, so in the future I'll stick with the far superior gmaps pedometer for route planning.

I did the run at a 5:55 per km pace. My right achilles was a bit sore around 12-13 km, and again a bit later, but it did ease up again along the way. All in all it went pretty well, but I'm spectacularly tired now.
