Notes
14 mile long run at Waterfall. Super hot day, and I ended up starting the way too late in the morning. It was around 10:45 when I started my watch, and temp rose to mid-high 80s by the time I finished. I was hoping to reach 16 miles today, but even 14 was a stretch in this weather. Took the pace pretty easy today, right about the same as the previous 16 miler after the Final Qualifier at Carthage. Despite a slower run, I think it was a good opportunity to get acclimated to hot weather, because chances are we will always have one or two meets that are just as hot as today. Very sore after the run, but not too much pain. Achilles is fine. Next weekend so far is looking to be very ideal weather (50-60s), so I will definitely be expecting to be at 16 next week, and hopefully at a much better pace too.
