Notes

Rain rain rain. Home, Butterworth to Landen, 2 laps with the cc guys, home. It was going well for a while, but I crashed around 14 miles. Some of it was mental for sure, my shoes kept bothering me and I was getting blisters and I was just pissed off. Also I think I didn't get enough to eat this morning, and maybe should have brought some more sport beans. I was approaching the high school and hoping I could snag a ride from MK at practice, but they had already left. I walked (gasp) and ran the last few miles, felt really crappy to do that. Came home and slumped in a chair while eating jelly beans and drinking a Coke. Feeling better now, but man I was just done for!! This was a good lesson in long run preparation. Pace wasn't bad, I guess I made up for the walking in the late game with quicker miles in the beginning.

I'm counting the laps at the landen trails as 2.45 a piece. Smith says they are 2.4-2.5, so that's good enough for me.
