Today was supposed to be a 6-8 mile run. I always just go for the high end of the range that the schedule suggests, so I was planning on an 8-miler. However, this morning I was feeling really dehydrated and just kind of off overall. I went to the gym to run, and right off the bat settled on a 10-minute mile pace, thinking that if I went slow enough I could push through all 8 miles. After 2 miles I had to slow down to a walk and drink some water. After 2 more miles, same thing. After the 5th mile, I actually got off the treadmill and went to refill my water; and after 6.75 miles total I finally decided to call it a day. I finished up by walking about half a mile and then headed home. Still an OK day overall; I don't feel like a total failure because I did still adhere to the schedule, but I'll probably up next week's run (4-6) to an 8-miler to make up for it.
3 months down, 4.5 to go! :)
