Notes
Wow this run was something else...Wasn't really sure what I wanted to do today so I decided I would just check out the Fox River trail. Didn't have any wifi at the apartment yet so I didn't realize that it was 90+ degrees outside. Went out feeling kinda meh but after a mile or so I warmed up and just decided to go out and enjoy the path. I would occasionally check me watch and just decided halfway through I'd just wing it and go by feel. Made it to the Depot where Kaytlin and I ran Monday and then went an extra mile out to hit 10. Turned around feeling pretty good and purposely stopped at 11 for water. Unfortunately, it was around this time when I started getting hit with the dehydration feels. I really thought it wasn't going to be a big deal but then around mile 12 I stopped sweating and by 13.5 I could hear my heart beat in my ears and my breathing started to become erratic. I thought I could fight the bonk but the weather was just too much of a factor. I had to stop at a little over 15.5 to regain composure and fix my breathing. Unfortunately, that didn't really happen so I did my best to make it to the entrance of the path. My right hamstring started to go due to the dehydration so once I hit 17 miles I said fuck it and stopped. I was still 5k away from the apartment and I was bonking hard so I had no choice but to walk for an hour till I got back. DQ saved my ass and gave me water. Overall, this sucked major assholes but aside from the last mile I held up pretty well considering I was bonking by mile 13. No excuse on this aside from the fact that today, I was a dumbass. Won't do this again solo
