Day 78I felt better this morning but not quite yet well. Again, my appetite is fine and I ate a hearty breakfast and took down plenty of fluids. But by the time I felt ready to run it was after 11am and already a scorchingly hot day. I decided four miles sounded just about right to me. I’ll attempt to make up the deficit tomorrow and Thursday, with two long runs on each day.

Splits:

Day 78 - Splits

I actually felt pretty good for the first 2-3 miles but the heat got to me by mile four. Overall, however, I was slightly faster than I have been for a little while. It’s frustrating because my legs and cardiovascular system feel great - it’s just my stomach and a real increase in my sweat output that’s giving me problems right now. I feel like I’m dehydrating really fast, even though I’m taking in more fluids than normal.

Anyway, onwards and upwards! Hopefully things will be 100 per cent back to normal by tomorrow. :)

If you slept in, had breakfast and were ready at 11 PM, then you needed some serious rest!
