Sunday was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day. Perfect for a run.
Unless you are me. Then, it was the worst run in a really long time. Like, since I started running again.
Miserable. I only had 4 hours sleep, had already worked 4 hours at a physically demanding job, was not well fed or hydrated. The absolute perfect set up for my first ever 15 miler. WooHoo!
I started off listening to my favorite podcast and the first 3 miles went fairly well. After that, it was downhill. Mentally, I just wasn't in it. Then, my right calf started to hurt. I knew my form was off and I started to doubt whether I would (or should) finish this run.
In the end, I did finish. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun. And, I'm sore. Very, very sore. But, I ran 15 miles! My longest training run ever. 2 long training runs left....
