So... this was not a good week. I didn't do Tuesday run because I can home New Orleans exhausted. It should have been a sign. The weekday runs I did do weren't too bad, but by Friday, I could tell I was getting a cold of some sort.
I was in bed by 9:30 on Friday night and when my alarm went off for my run, I felt so much better. I wasn't 100%, but felt much better.
I wasn't prepared for the heat though - holy cow was it hot. I had to back to pace off at the end of the long run because I was overheating. I drank close to 60 oz on the run, which seems like a lot (even for 15 miles). I felt okay during the day, but work up Sunday like a truck hit me. I tried to get my run in, but had to cut it short because I was dying.
Figured it was better to cut a run short and get healthy sooner, then prolong the sickness.
