12 miles. It was supposed to be 15 and it wasn't pretty. Hot, humid, hills. I was drenched, my shoes & socks were soaked and squishy with sweat.
I know you should never make any big decisions during or after a hard run, but I'm seriously considering bailing on a fall marathon. Training just doesn't seem like fun this summer. It feels like more of an obligation and a stressor. I don't like feeling like I missed my goal for the day because I "only" ran 12 in these conditions today. I think it might be fun to see what happens when I focus on running harder for shorter distances. Or just running what I feel like running.
