Today I planned an 18 mile long run. What I ended up with was a rough go of it and struggled to complete 16 miles - walking at least 2 miles of the total distance.
I thought for sure I was ready for an 18 miler. Last week's long run was 15 miles and I managed that distance fairly well.
So, what happened?
First of all, the course I chose this week was a hilly one compared to last week's relatively flat course.
Second, temperatures today are warmer than last week. It was 80 degrees when I hit 8 mile today. My body does NOT like running in the heat!
Feeling wiped out right now so I don't expect to be moving mountains later today. I think R&R for the rest of the day is in order!
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
