Today was a bad running day for me. It was warmer than usual, 79ยบ. When shopping yesterday I did not take in very much fluids. And only had a cup of apple juice this morning before running. My legs were a little tired from the shopping as well. But my desire to run and keep running was stronger than my desire to skip or quit. The last 4 miles were tough. I noticed I was not sweating as much. And I also did not have enough saliva to spit. My lack of hydration was apparent. I was very thankful to finish and happy for a cold drink and shower afterwards. 10.05 - 7:57, 7:49, 7:46, 7:53, 7:58, 7:38, 7:50, 7:47, 7:54, 7:47, :24 - 1:18:49 - 7:50 avg.
