My run was thrown off a little today. The incline was closed again so I ran down PJ McArdle. It's a relatively gradual decline so it wasn't too tough on my legs, however, it added a little over a mile onto my run. The first part of my run went fine until I ran up over 100 stairs around mile 8 and then up a long hill around mile 8.5. Luckily, Joe was at the top of the hill at mile 9 to give me water and a gel packet (the only I had).
I felt good til about mile 12 or 13 - that's when I started to struggle. I made it to mile 15 where I had a second water stored for me. The hydration gave me a little bit of a pick up but I still just didn't feel all that good. I was in complete agony (physical and mental) at mile 18. I slowly continued - most likely looking like I had been shot in both legs. Finally I finished and Joe was there to drive me up the hill.
