Mad Dogs...

Today, when most Tucsonan runners were probably up and out early, I was still drinking a morning cup of tea. Setting out for a long run at about 11am on a bright, warm, sunny southern Arizona day is not something a local would do...I learnt the hard way and had to give up my 'long' run after 13miles - mainly due to setting off too quickly and then inadequate hydration :(
Mentally it was abit tough to quit the Sunday long run, but it's ok, overall I've had a great week of training and can fit in a few more miles next week! I also want to be able to get up for morning yoga and run tomorrow, not be in a shell because I thrashed by body just to finish one day's training. So...the long run really was about the long run...
