Lunch/PM: 18.1 miles, averaged 9:06. HR 139.
Total time = 2:44
Decent long run if quite slow but purposefully so. Drier air and somewhat cooler made most of the run very manageable. Went out the Polly Ann and through a few new subdivisions I have never run through to a few dirt roads that I frequent. Started to get a bit tired around 15-16, got a little water and continued on for a bit. Got to 18 and wanted to go a bit more but my foot started to hurt. Thankfully it is just a corn on my foot that crops up every once in a while. Walked about 30' home.
I felt okay after the run and walking home but when I got inside and some fluids in me I started to feel very depleted. I imagine this is just glycogen depletion from yesterday.
I wasn't too bothered by the slow pace as I was keeping my HR down and logging feet time. I do think it will take a long time to get in any decent shape ever again. I need to run more mileage. No way around that.
