Failed Long Run - 10 miles

10.09 miles Garmin Link
1:28:30
8:46 pace

Today was supposed to be another 20-miler - or at least the 18-miler that the program called for - so I got up at 4:45 and was at work an hour later and on the road by 6:00 a.m. Was still tired and achy in the legs, and when I got down to the rec path, the temperature was already 77 degrees, with high humidity. By the time I hit five miles, at a slow pace, it seemed clear that I was not going to make my goal today. Turned around at 5.25, and it was all I could do to jog back to the office. Guess I am not a warm weather runner.

That makes 105 miles for July. Will have to do a little better to dig myself out of the 75-mile deficit I currently have to be on pace for 1,200 miles this year.

May do a Valley Forge bike ride tomorrow with friends from work.
