Ran too fast. Ran with Eudair which explains why I ran too fast. When I'm running with her I feel like I'm much faster, and in much better form than I probably am. She just glides when she runs. We started talking about her mountain training in Brazil this summer (she won two races while there!). She said they did mostly speed intervals and long runs at altitude. I think this got her heart rate up because we just kept speeding up. My training pace was supposed to be in the high 8:30's. We stayed pretty much in the low 8's. I chose to turn back and finish around 15 miles intead of the 18 she had on her plan. I'm glad I did. Now... recover.

I've backed up my training plan to run Space Coast in 14 weeks. I just don't trust myself to perform well in a race that will possibly be hot. Now my goal is to slow down on my training runs, increase milage, and trust my speed work schedule to give my what I need come race day.

Is Eudair a Brazilian name? I've never heard it.

Yes, I believe it is Brazilian. Of her first and middle name, this is the easiest one for most of us to pronounce.
