I had a sub-par run tonight. It started out great. In fact, I felt great for about 2 1/2 miles. Then things went downhill quickly. Obviously, I survived--but in retrospect, I am wondering if I didn't drink and eat enough today to get through. Or maybe I did drink and eat enough but just not the right things at the right time. It's okay though. There will be better days. I'm not too worried about it.
It's crazy how things work. I felt worse after 4 1/2 miles today than I did after running 11 miles a couple of weekends ago. Some days you feel like you can run forever. Some days you wonder if you are going to be able to make it home. So tonight I came home, had a good dinner, and tried to get hydrated. I probably should have done an ice bath, but I didn't.
We will be running 12 miles on Sunday. It is supposed to get up to 90 degrees, so we plan to go early. We are doing a half marathon on June 24 (also a Sunday) which starts at 7 a.m., so this is about as close to a test run as we can get.
