Well, I’ve run almost 16 miles since I last posted, and they’ve all sucked!
Yesterday, I finally went out a little before 6 p.m. to do a lap around the 5.5-mile loop. It was still hot and humid and felt like almost 90. Absolutely miserable. And to top it all off, the swarms of gnats were out in force. So I was sweating my face off, and then getting coated top to bottom in those disgusting gnats. As soon as I got home, I got right in the shower to rinse them all off.
Today, I went out earlier. It wasn’t quite as hot and not nearly as humid, and the bugs weren’t really out either. It should’ve been a much better run, but it just wasn’t. I had zero energy. It was a total slog. I dragged myself around the 10.1-mile loop.
It’s supposed to get down into the low 50s tonight. Tomorrow should finally be a decent day for a run. I am so ready for better running weather!

It’s the slogs of training that make great marathon runners. 🙂

Then I should be all set, because those were two of the worst slogs I’ve had all year ha!
