About mile 9 I decided I would do 5 more, so I was not prepared for a long run today and had no gu or gel or water.  That might have made this more enjoyable.  I also went out through farm courntry and had two dogs chase me and there was nothing to look at for miles out there and the sun just shining down baking on me.  All in all, I would give this run 2 stars.  I averaged 8:20/mile which isn't fast enough to stay on track for the time I want at TOU. Now I have to do another long run this week to get my confidence back up.  I can do this!
