Bike Path to Kalber and back - 13.1 miles, averaged 8:16.

Ran with Brandon and Julian, but let them go at mile 7. I was struggling about as bad as I ever have. Dehydrated or something because I was feeling not just off but not right. Last two miles were over 9 minutes. Breathing was fine, but my legs felt like the end of a marathon. Easily in the top 10 worst runs ever.

Right knee is a bit achy. Started yesterday. Felt it a bit after Boston, and wacked it on the bar while I was there and it really hurt. Marking it here so when it flares up and I go to jerk sports medicine guy at Purdue I remember.

Ouch, I've been there. Some of the possibilities are dehydration, illness coming or going, under-fueled run or acclimating to heat. Hate that feeling...

I am thinking dehydration. It was humid but cooler so it wasn't terrible. I didn't drink hardly any water when I was out of town and I usually drink a lot. Lots of fruit and water today.

Not to jump on the bandwagon or anything, but dehydration ruins my running. Hopefully that's all it was!
