Notes

I tried to go for a long run this morning (yes, right after doing 9.5 late the night before) and it was miserable. While the heat wasn't bad this morning the humidity was absolutely ridiculous to the point that just standing around felt like you were choking on water. I went to Millwood via Campfire and then went up Inningwood to Pines Bridge and then down Shinglehouse at which point I had to stop at Rocky's for water. I then went up 120 to Hardscrabble and took Valley Lane and then headed back home to cut the planned 14-miler short to only 11. I don't remember the last time I needed to stop for breaks on a run but I felt horrible today especially on hills, and everything felt more difficult than normal.

However, I'm still logging this as a 14-miler because right after getting back I got ready to leave for backpacking trip with Emma on the AT which included hiking 3.5/4 miles with a heavy backpack on a hilly route. The legs were exhausted but I made it without too much difficulty.
