Not All Runs Are Great

Sometimes runs just seems to go on.......forever. Well, it wasn't quite that bad. With so many variables it is certainly difficult to know what causes your body to sometimes just not be able to pull it all together. You feel rough, the body is not hitting on all the cylinders. Hills may as well be mountains. Today was one of those runs. It was later and hotter today, and I didn't eat my perfect lunch yesterday. Maybe those things are to blame, but who really knows. I ran 9 miles today at a 9:37 pace. Very respectable, for me, but felt hard. My fastest 9 miles was a 9:15 pace. I am doing some positive thinking today, for a great run tomorrow!
