ANOTHER LONG RUN

All I thought about today was the long run I had coming my way.  I didn't feel really well either, with my cold feeling worse than during the week.  I guess it's finally hit that stage where you start to cough and that's where I was.

I didn't enjoy my long run and it even felt painful at a certain point.  But the good news was that I could run the entire 6.5 miles without stopping.  I think the cool air helped a lot to keep me from feeling thirsty or tired.  My knees felt the brunt of it all and that's probably because of the way I'm running.  It seems like my stride really puts a lot of stress on the knees.

I just rested when I got home.  I didn't even feel that thirsty, but it's probably because I ate a ton of watermelon and food for dinner.
