Notes
Run with Kyle's wedding party the morning of the wedding and I tagged along. The pace was quick but didn't mind, though I could feel the heat getting to me (only ran on gravel roads - no shade). Had an internal debate when Lane, Kyle, and Schroeder split off while Drew and Flynn continued. Like I told them, I was feeling good but also not confident in holding on for 11 miles. Decided I didn't have much to lose as long as I didn't get lost. Slowly started to wear down with the miles and once we made a turn to get out of the wind (around 8 miles) and started running on the shoulder, I threw in the towel and took it easy easy enough so that I'd be fine the rest of the day. At one point I knew I probably shouldnt make a turn, but wanted the wind in my face again and off the gravel. This resulted in having a cornfield between me and my destination. There was no fence and tire tracks at one spot so I plowed through some high grass for 1/2 mile.
