AM/Lunch: 20 miles, averaged 7:54

Just under 80 degrees or so when I started and 88 degrees when I finished. No wonder I bonked so hard a mile 18. I decided to run back and forth on Forbidden Drive on the dirt and under the shade. It was a good move today. Averaged about 7:45 through 18 and lost a lot of time climbing up the hill and dragging my carcass the last two miles. Felt better than last week and clicked of some moderatish miles around 7:30-7:15 once I got going without consciously picking up the pace.

Miserable conditions for a long run - good job grinding through.

I felt pretty good and it was fairly dry, but I was somewhat loopy after I got back and Megan was a bit worried. I knew I was fine but I was feeling a bit off. She saw me after Boston and on a day when I got lost my second day here. Post-Boston was fairly scary. Just very thirsty and tired.

I have now instituted a non-verbal system of communication with Megan.

Thumbs up means I'm fine just can't verbalize much and a thumbs down or collapse on the floor means I'm in trouble!

Looks like you have been knocking out some long runs as well.
