8/16 - 16 miles

Today was full of first times. I ran 16 miles for the first time and I experienced chafing for the first time. Fortunately, it happened around mile 14. It was mild; no bleeding or raw nipples. However, I'll definitely be using Vaseline or BodyGlide on my next long run. For those of you who have trained for a marathon before or are currently training, is there anything else I should expect? And yes, I already know of runner's trots.


My new best friend, Vaseline.

Also, Tyra's best friend

    Is she for real? I can't believe the audience cheered for that long. I would've been like, "WTF?"

    Anyways, now that you are getting to the long run it's good to make sure you are eating something and replenishing electrolytes. I always ran with a mix of gatorade and water and then would also force myself to eat a power bar.
