Daily Run 4/24

10 Miles
60:00 (6:00 pace)
Goal Effort: Medium

So much went wrong on that run its not even funny. The effort I put in was probably equivalent to a 56 minute ten miler.
The run started off well but I felt off almost the entire time. By off, I mean I felt tight in weird places and the tightness really restricted my stride. It was one of those things where the harder I pushed the worse my stride would feel. So I kept on pushing and there was point where I was pushing hard enough that my stride started to feel halfway normal.
Well as you can probably guess something else probably started to happen when my stride started to smooth out. Seemingly at the same time my stomach started to hurt(probably from needing to poo) and I was pounded by dehydration. I knew the weird feeling that I felt was dehydration because all the sweat magically vanished from my body.
At this point I decided I would push the ninth mile and cruise the last mile in. Well as I neared the ninth mile I started to fall apart(surprise, surprise) And of course I decided to push anyways. Well it took about two minutes for me to crack and go into a jog. After this I was like fuck it and just went back after it and started "grinding" for the first time in a long time. This ended up in a 5:30 for the ninth mile. I was pretty much busted when I finished and still managed to cruise a 6:30 to round out an imprefectly perfect 60 minute ten miler.
