Yeah. 23 miles was on my plan for the day. I ran 5 and quit. Would you like me to bullet my excuses? No? Well I’m gonna do it anyway.
- Our power went out last night and I got up late
- When I did make it out the door it was almost 7AM
- And at 7AM it was already 83 degrees with 80% humidity
- I thought I was going to die before I even got to the end of the street
- I was so sweaty and sticky by 1/2 mile into it
- My calves and the arches of my feet started cramping
- Seriously, who has arch cramps? That’s just stupid
- Stupid with a big, stupid capital S
- S for stupid, stupid, stupid
- I had a really bad attitude because I’m so freaking tired of this hot and stupid weather
- And stupid humidity
- I started walking about 3 miles into the run because I was so stupid hot
- I averaged a 14 mph stupid speed
- I took Friday AND Saturday off as rest days to prepare for the 23 miles
- But I’ve been so very tired
- Because of the stupid weather
- I got a 108.66 miles in this month, just 10 shy of my all time Septemberathon high of last year
- If I had ran all 23 stupid miles, this month would be my all time high mileage month
- But it’s not, stupidly
Okay now. I think I’ll try a do-over tomorrow morning with a better attitude. Although it will still be stupid hot outside.
