Sunday is my long run. I did not have the Goat Trail crew to run with. I was out late on Saturday night and got a late start. Ended up leaving the house around 9am. It was raining which came as a surprise. The humidity was going to make a guest appearance for the run along with a little heat mixed in. I decided to load all four of my bottles on my fuel belt with Skratch and took three gels with me for the two hour run. I ran down Andy Brown trail to the other side of town, then under 121 and out Lakside Parkway until I reached 6 miles making the round trip 12. I did not feel great at all. The miles were clicking off at just over 10 minute pace. I really didn't want to push it either. The last four or so were tough but I managed a rhythm and ran the entire way without walking. The only exception was on the half hour when I would eat a gel. The rain was coming down lightly for the first 45 minutes and then it went away. I really was hoping for a downpour on the return but it never happened. Good to know I could fight through a tough run but it was not comfortable.
