Long run at Isle Lamotte, VT on Lake Champlain. Windy, but flat. I looped back to the house at the 1/2 way point to chug a quart of water. I'm feeling even better today. I'm really close to normal again, I think.
My doctor buddy replied and said he thinks my fatigue may be from dehydration. This actually makes sense, but I feel a little silly to go through all the blood tests. I guess better safe than sorry.... This all started after my Boston trip with my nephew. We were on the go for 3 days straight, including miles and miles of walking. I think I was neglecting my fluid intake, diet and sleep. I know better! I need to take better care of myself, especially since I'm not in my 20s anymore.
14.03 miles. 1:43:11. 7:21/mile. 140 BPM. I picked it up after my water break and ran the last 6 miles in 42 minutes. I started to tire quite a bit after 1:30.
