Long Run - start at 9 am.  humidity still high and temps climbed to 80 by the end of the run.  Started off well - kept it in the 8-8:45 range through about 23 miles.  Ran out of water about that point and went without for about 20 minutes.  Never caught back up on hydration after refilling handheld.  Nasty downward spiral.  Walked the last 2 miles.  33.84 miles total - 5:23:48. 

Tapering down on the LR's up until Nov. 12

OFF today - time to get serious about recovering from all these LR's.  Walking at the end of the last 2LR's must be telling me something...
