I think not.

Complete Running is a mess and all I can do right now is wait on the host to sort it out.

I haven’t been sleeping and I continue to make really dumb mistakes.

Today’s stupidity: Went to bed late, woke up early and didn’t eat breakfast. Had coffee and a light, crappy lunch. Failed to hydrate until 2:00 p.m. Began my two hour long run home at 3:30 without my water bottle which I’d forgotten at home.

Outcome: Horrible run. Good average heart rate but horrible run nonetheless. Felt like crap for 90 out of 120 minutes. Right Achilles gave me unending grief. Was hungry and then rather woozy in the last 30 minutes.

The Positive: The weather was nice.

Average Heart Rate: 148
Time: 2:02:30
Distance: 12.19 miles
Pace: 10:03 min/mile

Tomorrow can only get better.

Sorry, but you got in the miles. I don’t care if you crawl them, just get them in.

We all learn our lessons about what ‘works’ and what doesn’t. Don’t sweat it, but thanks for letting us know. It keeps us honest when we post the good and the bad.

I echo all above who have noticed… you are doing great and your improvement is on track.
