Wanted to do 19 today, but 17 was absolutely all I had in me. Today was one of those absolute terrible running days. Started off feeling great-but around 8-9 miles in my legs were already tired. I would have quit at 13- but forced myself to keep going. The last 4 miles were brutal and I had to keep stopping to regroup. After I was done my whole body hurt and I wasn't able to function for about 4 hours. Literally I laid in bed and even had to throw up once. This NEVER happens to me. Looking back I think I was dehydrated and suffered a little heat exhaustion. I didn't run until 11 and it was high sixties to low seventies. (I'm used to running in the 30s and 40s) also I don't think my legs were recovered from my track workout two days prior. I did have Gatorade 9 miles into it, but it wasn't enough. The weird thing is I never felt hot...everything just hurt. I weighed myself hours later and I was 4-5 lbs lighter then normal so I'm sure I was dehydrated. Looking back I should have just listened to my body and mind and quit at 13. (7:06 ap for 17) hopefully my next long run goes much better.

Oh geez, that sounds terrible! Although your pace was excellent. You're a tough little runner.
