It's long run day. The trail crew was supposed to get together this morning at 7:30am but the weather had other plans. I woke up around 6:30 and heard the thunder in the distance. Turned on the TV to see how bad the storms were and there was a big mass of red and yellow heading right at us. I sent a message to Joe and the Matrix to let them know I was delaying the run today and going back to bed. My wife and I got up around 8 and watched a movie. After that, it looked like the rain was clearing out so I started to get my stuff together. I left the house at 10:45am. It was 77 degrees outside but extremely humid. In the sun, it seemed much warmer. I took all of my water bottles on my fuel belt. Two of them with lemon lime Skratch Lab, two gels and Enduroshark. I used all of it and actually stopped once to fill up one of the water bottles so I could dump it on my head while I was running. I kept the pace pretty steady and slow today. I ran across this old guy in Coppell named Ribs. Everybody who runs around Coppell knows Ribs. I managed to cross paths with him about three times today. The humidity was rough today and I felt pretty tapped out when I got home. At least leaving later in the morning is good training for Lubbock. I should probably do more of that for the next few weeks.
