Notes
This run started out so good. This was actually a half marathon RACE but I didn't label it as such since it was the other half of the long run this weekend. I'm glad to have had the support I did and the course was really nice.
The first 3 miles were fantastic and I was on my way to a good time. Not a PR but a time I would have been proud of. Then around the 3 mile mark my "shitty" feeling comes back and I duck into a porta potty. It was literally all over from there on out. The GI monster hit me HARD and I was miserable. I had to slow my pace in fear of shitting all over myself. I made two more pit stops in the bosque. I feel I should apologize for what I did to the trees there. Anyway, this was one of the worst runs ever because of that. Everything else felt great. My legs weren't too sore and my mind was 100% in the game.
At least I finished all the miles.
This is, to date, the longest training run I have ever done. Noticed I said TRAINING run, not race or anything else.
I also did 5:1 on this so I don't know what my mile splits are. I can tell you that I walked quite a bit of the last 2.1 miles though. I was miserable and also felt sick for the rest of the day. Ugh. :-(
