BLAH.... This was supposed to be my 20 mile run. Instead of going around 6am like I normally do, I waited to start until around 11am. I felt fine and I was going slow which felt nice. It was a lot more hilly of a run than I have done on my long runs, but I felt like sinc I was going slower I could handle it. The heat took its tool on me and when mile 15 hit I started tanking really quickly. I didn't bring any water and I couldn't find any avaliable water close so it drained me physically and mentally. I made it to 16.5 before Lacey came and picked me up. This was stupid because my body was feeling fine but it's a good learning experience of what to expect when I run later in the day. Oh and now I have a horrible sun burn.... Avergae pace was 7:09.
