San Gabriel Trail - 17 miles/2:46:09
Not quite the run I was hoping for. I was sure I could hit 20 today. But the cool weather we had earlier this week is gone, and the early start did not happen. By the time I gave in around 1:00, it was already 98.
On the positive side, the pace was good overall. It was very smooth the first 8 - 10 miles. I was fading hard by 12. I wanted to go back out for the last 8, but the 5 more was tough to muster.
Now I'm dealing with a headache from the dehydration. I went through 120 oz of Gatorade during the run, fueled on Hammer Gel, and took Succeed. But I just can't keep up in this heat.
I'll take tomorrow off. I'm not sure about Monday yet. It may rain. I'll probably run in the rain if it does. Otherwise, I may try to recover a little more from this effort.
