today's run was a bit hard. like a fool i stayed up way to late partying like i'm a twenty something. so i slept in way past sunrise and missed it. i didn't wake up until 10:00 am and freaked out a bit because not only did i need to run 7 miles, i had a hangover. but i did it. it was definitely a test for race day as under whatever the circumstance, i will run the race. hopefully so.
i learned a few things on today's run that i'm sure i will remember at least this week. one is that i can run with a hangover. it actually does make you feel better to exercise but still not a good idea to have one in the first place. another lesson is to sing a song as a motivator. i don't use music but that does not mean i can't sing my own song when no one is around. a good song get's me going. then there is the need to figure out how i can hydrate on my long runs. i don't think i can go much further without getting some water or something after 7 or 8 miles which for theses hot days, it's about an 1 hour and half time frame. i don't like the look of these gel packs they sell but i might try the jelly beans just because, right.
