Ok, since I'm so behind, I'm just going to run through them...no pun intended. ;D

OH YEAH!! Look at that! 18 miles baby!! And that's without any potty breaks! Even with a pretty amazing time, I still feel like I could have done better. I started to get dehydrated about miles 13-14, and was already past all the stores. Whenever I passed a sprinkler, I honestly thought about stopping. But, I knew if I stopped, I wouldn't be able to get moving again. I definitely need to get one of those belts with the water bottles.

And that brings us to today...

5 miles

39 minutes 37 seconds

Average Mile

7 minutes 55 seconds

I definitely felt the fatigue today. I evidently didn't fully rehydrate my body, and it was very apparent. My throat felt dry right off the bat. Spent most of today drinking lots of water, to get rehydrate.

So, all caught up! Feeling pretty good.

Now to get some sleep for tomorrow's run. :D

13 weeks 2 days down, 4 weeks 5 days to go!!!
