Legs were still super sore when I woke up this morning. 6 miles alone. I only saw one snake today and it was a baby. :) Got to my house to pick up David and took Shot Blocks, Gatorade, and SaltStick. I was a sweaty mess. First three miles with David were good and then I had an emotional breakdown. Yes, I started crying and craving a run with girls that go my speed. Sorry David. I do love running with my husband but some days it is hard for me to strike up a conversation with him while we run. Sometimes I get so concerned how fast we are going I forget to relax. Anyway, the humidity was doing me in and I cried. He told me to relax and that I was doing great. We ran 2 more miles. 6 total miles together. He dropped me off at the house and I tried to call Elyse to go out for 5 miles, she didn't pick up. I stood in my house and debated whether or not I was going to pick myself off the floor and get outside. I finally did. Schedule called for 17 miles but I called it a day at 16 and walked a mile home. Sure this sounds pathetic but I need to mentally get in the game of my long runs. Yes, they are hard and yes, I can do them! Ice bath. I blame my sore legs on the weights I did this week. Next week I will go easier on the weights.
