heat + fatigue = no fun.

agh. that was the worst last night. my legs were tired before i began. and while it wasn't mississippi hot or austin hot, it was hot enough (over 90F), especially considering how relatively cool this summer has been (low to mid 70s on sunday, for example).

i gutted through it and finished under a 10 minute pace, but it was not enjoyable for any amount of time. i had a hell of time controlling pulse. there were a couple points where i couldn't slow down any more.

i drank a gallon of water yesterday, a quart of which was divided evenly between the hour before the run and immediately after the run. and i still think under-hydration had an effect on my pulse.

gah.
