AM: Today we went to Jeremy Ranch road. We went 5 miles out and back. My first 2 miles were pretty fast, both under 7. After about 3.5 miles I didn't feel so good, so I stopped at the bathroom. Bill and Dakota were ahead when I got out, so I worked up to them. Then I just stuck with them for a while. After about mile 6 I crashed, I don't know why. I think I just lost it mentally thinking that I still had to do 4 more miles. With a mile to go, there was this woman and her kid petting a horse, and it looked like fun, but I kept going even though I really wanted to stop. I feel like my long runs suck now, I wish I was as good at them as last year, but I guess I'll just have to wait a month or so until I get stronger. PM: Went for an easy 3. The first part of it sucked because I had a huge side ache and it wouldn't go away! Eventually I tried going faster and then it went away :) |
