12 Miler

The 12 miler that we ran on March 2 was a brutal uphill battle (bothways). We ran from downtown Central, SC to Clemson, SC and rounded Perimeter Road and connected to Cherry. From there we headed back towards Hwy 93 and completed our exit with the same path of our entrance. It took us just over 2 hours to do. This was our first run using enery gells. We also had a drop/pickup site for hydration. We put Accelerade in a water bottle. This was an interesting thing for us, but for our longer runs from now on, we will have to continue doing it. We will be running a 14 mile run tomorrow. This is nearly 3 times as far as any of us had ran when we started this training. Below is a map of a route that we may use. Hopefully it will go ok.
