Week minus 8 - Distance (fail) 13 miles

13.01 miles (20 miles target) Garmin Link
1:50:24
8:29 pace (8:30 target)

Another disappointment today - was supposed to make 20 miles, a distance I've done 3 times in the past couple of months without a problem. Today I pooped out at 13 miles. Forgot to bring Gu packets, which I usually eat every hour on a long run. Maybe I just ran out of juice. Or maybe I'm just a little burnt out physically and mentally. Next weekend is a 15-miler, which I should be able to handle, before trying another 20-miler the following week.

Sorry you're having the problems. Sometimes you just get a little burnt out and need a little more rest.
