I crashed hard during the run today. I could say that I have no idea why it happened and it was just one of those days but I know exactly what went wrong. I ate very little yesterday and didn't run until 11 a.m. today without eating anything in the morning. Obviously I did not have enough gas in the tank. Becky had to run 12 and I was shooting for 14-15 so we went to the Legacy Trail. Ran the first mile with her then took off with the intent of meeting her sometime on the way back. I was running 7 minute miles on my own. The first few felt really good but then they started to hurt after 5 of them. Once I turned into the wind I was really hurting. Still pushed knowing that Becky was up ahead and I told myself as soon as I caught up to her I would run the rest with her. Finally saw her on the trail but it took another mile to close the gap. I was really hurting and it felt like the end of a race. Ran the last 3.5 miles with her and the wind was really nasty. Honestly, I had a hard time keeping up with her and if it weren't for her, I probably would have walked back to the car. She ran 12 miles in 1:50 with a nasty head wind for the last half. She is definitely ready to run under 2 hours in Moab. |
