Slog

Today's run was a far cry from yesterday. Felt like dog poop, and abandoned my plan for a 14+ mile run to the river and just did a little over nine. Definitely a slog, but the saving grace is that it did get better as the run went on.

Stress and not so great diet contributed to the lack luster feeling. On the former, there is at least some good news in that the suspect of our burglaries is now officially being charged as we linked solid evidence. Hopefully he'll get caught soon, and suffer repeatedly the many bad things that happen to some people in prison.

Ran 9.2 miles @ 8:03/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
Upper to lower 70s, sunny.
Saucony Kinvaras, shorts, short sleeved shirt.

I hate those kind of runs, but they do help prepare the mindset for tough races........hmmm, how would one know what dog poop feels like?
