Long Run
Ran this at an extremely slow/easy pace. Fast walked & did drills prior. Right hamstring really hurting to where it did last Aug. Extremely hot and humid for 10pm and this destroyed me. Started fr Freedom Park & ran to Park Rd shopping center & then ran a loop around the Park Road Shopping Center (mi 1-2), then ran down Park Rd fr the shopping center which is very rolling. At 3 mi had to stop was I felt so terrible as the heat just got to me & sapped everything out of me. After cooling down, resumed and ran into a branch that almost impaled my head. Stopped again and made sure that branch would never touch anyone again. Resumed (but felt so sapped by the heat that my pace "cratered" and was embarrassingly slow) and ran down Park Rd & then up past where the running store used to be & up to Worthington all the way out (felt good here) & left on South Blvd & subsequently had to stop at mi 5 (almost felt sick to my stomach, really hot & my shorts where completely soaked & dripping, right hamstring hurting). Ran past Lowes & then looped back on South & then onto the rail trail to almost Tryon looping back & then left across East & onto Cleveland & then had to stop again (7.2 mi in, felt super hot & uncomfortable & right hamstring hurting). At this point it was a Burma death march running back to Freedom Pk & my car as I felt extremely uncomfortable, awkward, right hamstring hurt which depressed me - I think I had to stop 4 times over the final 2.8 mi - felt faint at times & was completely soaked in sweat).
