This had to be in the top 3 hardest runs I ever did. I started out feeling yuck and kept thinking it would get better. At mile 5, I broke down and took a power gel and thought that would help. It never did. I had made up my mind to do 10 so I finished, but I literally cried when I walked in the front door and my husband asked me if I was ok. I think maybe I was severly dehydrated or something. That is what it felt like, but I had drank lots the night before and a bottle before running this morning, so I am not sure. My average pace was 8:35/mile which is so frustrating.....maybe tomorrow will be better. |
