Today's Excuse

Today's excuse for a bad run: I'm an idiot. The temperature was 79 degrees and the wind was blowing from the south at 20 mph constant. So of course I tried to run 8-minute miles. What a maroon. At least I ran into the wind to start off with so that I wasn't doing so during the latter part of the run, but that didn't really help. I should have kept my 'marathon pace' to a 9-9:30 pace. I walked from 3.8 to 4 miles and that helped me get through the rest of it. I did complete my 6 miles but it wasn't pretty. I don't think running two days in a row really hurt me - rather it's just the aforementioned idiot thing.
