Long run today. Longest run in a very long time. I need to step up my training and get some longer runs in, and start actually trying to meet the training schedule for the Tri-CC. This run definitely is a big boost for fitness. I thought at about the 3 mile mark that I was going to cut it short and only do 6 miles, but I decided to soldier on and finish the whole planned 8 miles. The first three miles weren't too bad, I was just feeling the effects of riding 30 miles yesterday. The next three miles weren't so easy. Since it was 84º outside and about 100% humidity, it really started to affect me after the fourth mile. Then the hill just before the fifth mile wiped me out. I was pretty much dragging myself home in the last two miles. By then I was WAY too hot and no amount of slowing down was lowering my HR. So I just kept the decent pace I was on and made it home. It turned out to be a great run, just long, tiring and WAY too HOT.
Sleep: good (bed at 1:30am, awake at about 8:30am)
Mood: good
Physical: legs were a little tired
Clothes: dark blue Nike shorts, yellow livestrong shortsleeve shirt, red FleetFeet hat (WAY HOT and SWEATY)
