Notes

Terrible run back home. Went to the gym and swam for quarter of a mile. After on my way back home I had this idea that I should take the long way home: 6 miles instead of 1.5. Bad decision.

For some reason I crushed really bad after 2 miles. After 3 miles I had to sit down and rest. I was totally beat. Sure it was hot; about 100F, but it's not the first time I've ran in this conditions. I dragged me sorry ass along the road constantly switching from running to walking and back. At mile 4.5 I went to a gas station shop and bought a ice-cold Gatorade. I also filled up my handheld bottle with ice and topped it off with Gatorade. After I drank I felt a bit better but my legs were super tired.

Had I brought my cell phone I would have called Linda to pick me up. But I didn't so I keep going. The last mile I mostly walked - a walk of shame. I was sure glad to arrive at home.
