A tough run
Today was supposed to be an 8 mile long (well, long for me) run at an easy pace. I got out the door a little later than I should have and consequently it was warm when I started and just got warmer. Couple that with side stitches and I'm surprised I completed the distance. I had to walk twice, I completely stopped once in an effort to alleviate the stitches. The only good thing about the run was one stretch at mile six. As I was turning a corner I began running into a light breeze that really cooled me down, and I managed to run through some sprinklers that were spraying into the street. I did complete the distance but it was slow and ugly. I guess they can't all be good runs...

Yup, we all have good days and bad days, nevertheless, running eight miles in the heat isn't easy for anybody! Finding some sprinklers is a treat! Is eight miles your longest run?
Hi Bruce-8 miles has been my long run for a couple of months;I was doing 10 milers through the winter, then burned out so I cut back on the mileage. I'm traingin for a half in July, so will be increasing the long runs in preparation.
