A super slow long run today. My legs are still pretty worn out but I think that if I cut back a little next week I will be fully charged again. The first couple of miles kind of dragged on but then I got into a zone and ran the rest in cruise control. There were a lot of cyclists on the road today. I'm not sure if it was a organized ride or just lots of people getting out to enjoy the heat. Stopped back at the house to pick up my in-laws dog to run the last mile (dog sitting again). This was a bad idea because the kids were all awake and wanted to go with me. They rode their bikes while I ran with the dog. It was a bit of a pain trying to keep on eye on them and the dog while maintaining a decent pace. I would complain about the heat but I know that the So. Utah runners have it much worse. I lost 7 pounds during the run despite drinking a large bottle of Gatorade and a big bottle of water during the run. I was still sweating when I finished so I think that I was able to maintain a decent hydration level. Total Time: 2:42:57 (8:09/mile) |
