I was so tired again that i went to bed about 10:00pm and woke up about 7:30am.  I think I am still recovering from WBR and the night of zero sleep last weekend.  

I thought about doing a 5k like the one in Herriman or Lavender days in Mona, but after I felt sore yesterday I decided to bag it and do a longer run.   I was glad I did because i had a good run after it took me 5 miles to get warmed up.   I did an extended version of my six city loop that starts in AF and goes through Highland, Alpine, Cedar hills, Manilla, PG and back home to AF.  I took a GU at halfway and grabbed a drink in Cedar Hills.  I figure I need to start training with that type of stuff once in a while to get used to it for some of my up and coming longer races.  I felt good and ran comfortably the whole run, even with some of the big hills.  I averaged just over 6:30 pace for the last 8 miles.   1:39:18 for the run.

Nice run and pace average. I know what you mean about taking in the right fuel sometimes we forget about doing it when starting the long runs in the heat. Sounds like your adjusting to the higher miles.

Nice run! I am finally catching up from WBR myself. Nice pace for the last 8M!
