Total Distance

13.50

Pretty tough long run today. Even though I have been feeling better, every run over 10 miles is still an adventure for me. I went to Jeremy Ranch to run with the big group, which was probably a mistake. I started to struggle about 4 miles in and I was barely able to keep up the turnaround, which we reached in about 52mins.

On the way back, things went downhill fast. I lost the group after about 100meters and they were quickly out of sight. Then I started to get my typical low blood pressure symptoms:headache, earache, nausea, pain in both my arms. My breathing and HR stayed at a reasonable level and my legs felt fine, but I was also stuck going very slowly, particularly on the uphill. Once I got to 1:50, I decided to stop, walk and wait for the Cobblers to come get me. Even as I type this, I still have a pretty bad headache and I've been done for an hour.

I think runs like this are something I just have to live with, but I think if I can get more used to the pace+distance then it will be mitigated. In addition, I need to hydrate (+saltate?) better prior to these runs.

I didn't realize the wheels came off like that for you on the way back. You looked great for the first half.

My sweat was salty today so I was a little embarrassed... now I know how allie felt during the marathon last week.

My sweat was perfectly watery. Must have been that Mac and cheese i had last night.
