Notes

worst run in recent memory. did the distance and pace as i wanted but felt pretty bad for most of the run. started well, quickly became tired. could be due to heavy consumption two nights ago or lingering illness from beginning of the week (i did blow my nose many times) or ingestion of lots of bran and fruit for breakfast. either way i felt a bit fatigued for first hour; once i hit meadowbrook park i had a hard time holding in some diarrhea. ended up taking a ten minute or so break to shit and get some water. felt horrible and insides were all askew. managed to make it back running, but definitely out of my comfort zone. rather surprised that the pace was so reasonable... i struggled to keep pace and form in the last couple miles. in conclusion, felt like shit but it's good i have these long runs in me. 6 weeks today.
