Where do I start? I was supposed to run a Tempo Run today and my Long Run on Saturday. I am heading to a Team Roping competition tomorrow and will be competing on Saturday morning so a long run that day is not an option. I got the bright idea to run my Long Run today and then squeeze in my Tempo Run on Friday while I'm on the road to the event.
Maybe this was a bad idea...? or maybe it's just more of the same old thing I've been struggling with all along, I don't really know. The first few miles seemed great, my HR seemed good and my times were where I thought they should be but about mile 12-13 I felt like I was getting really hot. By this time my shoes were full of sweat to the point I was slinging water out of them every stride. Finally at mile 15 I decided this was not worth the effort and I stopped, rested and tried to cool down. Sweat was pouring off of me like I was a soaker hose. From that point on in I ran and walked and tried to cool down. My muscles got tight during this time making the last four miles misrable.
Not a very sucessful run but I got it in the books. I am going to try and go and find some different shoes that don't have as much padding as this holds all the sweat (do you know how much a soaked pair of Saucony Ride 4's and socks weigh?...a lot!). I also need to figure out my fueling better too. I drank 112 oz of fluid before and immediatly after the run and still lost 6 lbs.

Notes:
Started getting overheated at about mile 12-13. Miles 15-18 I had to take a few breaks and ran slow.
