Today didn't work out. My plans went kaput! I wanted an 18 miler of roads. What I got was a weak 12 miler. I picked up my running buddies...Larry and Clyde, (they are dogs). They can be such a pain! Especially Clyde as he darts and even stops in front of me making me have to stop or leap, or swerve, but I still like their company.
I was reminded today of the Bass Pro Marathon I ran last November because I felt the exact same way...I could not get going! I tried. It just was not my day! I actually had to walk some towards the end? Not the least bit encouraging! However, I have decided to try it again tomorrow. I will get out earlier, try to sneak by Larry and Clyde (they got in 12 miles today, too!) and hope I can get the long run in at a decent pace. The heat and humidity is back but that is not an excuse, I simply had no energy today. I live to run another day, though!!
Totals-12.25 miles/ 2:25:00/ 11:50's-Peace!

The recent HM had quite a level of difficulty. It is a very challenging course with some unreal gradients. No wonder the field was very smal...

I hear that. Sometimes its just how it goes
yah we all have those days... 12 miles isnt a bad run though! good luck tomorrow.
I bet those dogs will be sound asleep tomorrow! We all have days like that, but 12 miles is still very far. I think sometimes when we are marathon training we forget that. I hope you next long one is a breeze!
Larry and Clyde -- what great names for four-legged running partners.
we all have those days! some days it's just not meant to be but great job on making it through 12! That's awesome!
i had the same trouble on my weekend long run sunday. :-/ here's hoping we can both bounce back for the next one! cruddy runs are a major drag. nice job sticking out the 12 though!
Eh, every run can't be great. At least you still got 12 miles. Next time will be better.
