really tough run today, maybe my worst ever. I ran out of gas at about 15 miles. After than I felt like I was in some kind of out of body experience, hallucinating, light headed. I intended to go 22 but made 21.1. felt like I was running about a 9 minute pace the last 5 or so so was pleased to see my garmin say 7:37 average when I finished. so the pace was OK I guess. trying to figure out why I got so tired. I took four shot blocks and some cytomax so I had the sugar. it was my third week of 20 milers in a row, coming off no more than 14-15 for the weeks before that. I am trying to get some of these long runs out of the way so I can still try for a decent time at the TOU half before doing TOU. I can't figure out why they put that three weeks before the marathon since it would be better as a tuneup 2 weeks out. I don't really want to run another 7-8 after the half. oh well. back to the couch. I am done for the day.
