PM: 10.3 miles, averaged 9:57. HR 135.

Wasn't sure I was going to make it out as I was feeling super rough, but the cold air did me some good. That was quite a weekend. Back to more consistency this week. Hoping it stops raining at some point. We have had plenty.

When I find myself running in the "super rough" state (not an every day thing, but it happens.), I think I recover quicker. It's actually a good thing to "sweat it out." Maybe that is all in my head. I might lay on the couch half a day with the blinds closed, or I can go fight out a run, and get on with my life.

That said, you went WAY further than I would have in that condition. 10+ miles? No way, for me. Strong work!

I generally feel much better after running in such a state. Always feels like I am sweating out the toxins.

I've discovered that listening to "Brooklyn Zoo" by O.D.B. and "Mama Said Knock You Out" by L.L. Cool J back to back right before a run get rid of any crappy feelings, but hangovers are a whole 'nother level of crappy.
