Notes
Sleep: 10 hours. Drove to McDowell for a long run at 2:15. Around 80 at the start and 83 at the end, sunny and extremely humid as well. Ran to Saint James and hopped on the Illinois Prairie Path past Wheaton South. Came back basically the same way. Legs felt good today it was just horrible conditions. I was sweating my ass of within 15 minutes and searching for water within 30. Couldn't find water anywhere along the route and died a slow death the last few miles because of it. Went from comfortable 6:50s and low 7:00s for the first 9 miles to 7:20-7:30 for the last 4. Really dehydrated, considered walking it in at points, but I grew some balls and jogged it in. Stopped a ton of times on this run, around 20 minutes total, but I have no regrets, I was trying to find water/not die and wait at stoplights more than get in a really good aerobic effort. Pretty stupid of me to not do this until 2:00, but I wanted to sleep until noon so whatever.
