Notes
Ugh! This was pretty horrible, and I knew it was going to be right from the start. It was so humid this morning. After about 5 miles both my shirt and shorts were completely drenched. But, I figured I was taking it easy so no problem, right? Wrong! I was way dehydrated by the end. The last 5 miles were pretty rough. I was just trying to get home by the end. In the past I would have been a lot more upset with this run, but I know it doesn't really say much about my level of fitness, as much as it says about my lack of preparation. I obviously was not hydrated enough going into this, and on a run this long in this weather, 1 hand held simply did not cut it. I was rationing water by the end. When I got home, I drank 4 full glasses of water, and when I weighed myself, I was still down about 5 pounds. So this was a pretty rookie mistake. Live and learn. But, really I will say it for the 100th time, I cannot wait for a cool crisp fall day!
