A Long Hard Run

Workout: 15 Mile Easy Run

OMG that sucked! So I have to work all weekend and it was a nice night so I thought to myself… since I’m running 9 tonight, I might as well just run 15 and get it out of the way. Some days little Tommy is not so bright….

I think the big problem was I didn’t really prepare for the run. I didn’t eat well and ran after working all day. Plus I didn’t carry fluids, instead I bought water at a local quickie-mart. I did use Gu but other than that was not very well prepared.

Also I think last night’s speedwork was hard on my legs because they felt like led from the beginning. I kept think I would loosen up but never really did. I had a couple of good miles, but most of them were hard.

The big problem on this run were my calves. They were cramping up the last 4 miles. It sucked. I’m glad it’s done. It was a very humbling run!
