To quote Jim Carey in The Mask, “Somebody stop me!” That was all I could hope for on today’s run. I logged in just over 19 miles on my Garmin 301. That is over 40 for the week! I will say it wasn’t easy. I probably stopped and walked a half a dozen times in the last 4 miles. I was pretty much delusional… I took 2 bottles of Accelerade, a bag of Sport Beans and a Clif Bar. I wanted to make sure I took in plenty of calories and stayed hydrated. The way I felt, I am not sure if it worked. But I am ready to blame the 40 mile week for my poor performance today. I will want to make sure that I have plenty of rest before the STL Marathon. Jason on the other hand, hung in there rather well. He pretty much pulled me for the last 4 miles. Thank God for your training partner! With enough rest I am sure I can return the favor.
