CatHerder's Journal, 19 Sep 15

I decided last night I was going to run in the morning before work. So I set my alarm and ended up waking at 4:00. Since I was up and knew I had a long run I decided to head out early.

I got my 2 hour run in. I ran 9.4 miles in the 2 hours. I ended up running the entire time without refueling or water for that matter. I was doing fairly well at a 12:00 to 12:30 pace until 90 minutes went by. At that point my legs felt like lead and it was quite a mental struggle to keep moving them. My pace for the last two miles was really slow. Overall my whole body felt lethargic and all I can say is I did not feel well. It was one of the worst experiences in my life. I ate an energy gel immediately after the run and re-hydrated with some electrolytes followed by plain water. I now feel better after having breakfast and extra fruit.

Tomorrow is a rest day. I need to mow so that will be my exercise. Off to run some errands today.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
