Day 50: 9 miles

Day 50, woo!!! I feel like it hasn't been that long...

I am going to the Sun Dial tonight (very excited, only time I'll ever get to go in my whole life probably) so I had to run this morning, and very sadly, without Chris. Unfortunately, I overslept, so I didn't get started quite as early as I should have, meaning my run was much hotter than I'd hoped. Also, I forgot how far 9 miles is, and I definitely did not hydrate appropriately yesterday. So my run was pretty slow: 1:56 and some seconds. I don't think being lonely on my run helped much though either. I'm REALLY tired, but thankfully not too sore. I hope being back with my running buddy and eventually some cooler weather will help improve my long run times. Until then, I'm just going to keep working really hard on my shorter weekday run times to try to at least get those distances up to speed. I'm considering building some speed work into our training schedule, but I really think we just need to get through this ridiculously hot summer before we add any more running in. We'll see what happens come September.
