Last Long Run

Just as the title says I did my last long run.  That is until my race next Saturday.  I have a few short runs lined up, nothing longer than a 10K.  I ran this route tonight.  I left around 8:45 pm for my run.  I took me 1:30:07 for a pace of 8:43.  This run seemed pretty easy to be honest. I really didn't have any problems till I got to Jackson Ave (the cross run for 11th to 10th).  There is a Del Monte processing plant out there and the smells made my eyes water, my nose and throat burn, and it sucked.  I also ran through there during a shift change cause that road was way to busy for the time I ran through there.  I had to stop a little past the plant to take a leak.  It was kind of strange being in a hurry like that and all.  With a couple cars driving past I hid behind what might be the only real tree on the route.  I also lost my red blinking light somewhere on the way north.  I remember having it when I stopped but not when I checked for it.  I drove back that way trying to find it and could not.  While it clips on great to the waist band of my shorts the water belt is not thick enough for a good hold.  I might order something from Fuel Belt.  My nipples started to hurt around mile 7 which is a first for me.  My nipples never hurt.  Band Aides are going to be a must for the race.  I have a short run planned for tomorrow and a couple more next week, then it's race day.  The nerves are starting to tingle.
