My "long run." I started too late. It was beastly hot out there. I had a decent run despite the heat. I ran on the muddy trail for the first time in a few weeks after rolling both ankles. I was very deliberate with my pacing and generally pushed certain sections and sat up on others. My legs were a little dead from yesterday. But I managed to keep it quick enough to feel.

On the streetcar tracks on the final stretch home I shut it down and walked the last mile. I was done. And pushing myself in would not have advanced my plan in any way. I could feel my hips and calves. And my head was dealing with the 5 pounds of water I'd lost out there. I'm going to sleep well tonight.
