LONG RUN

I ran 20 miles along the Columbia River, avg pace 6:18/mile.

This run was simply unpleasant. I had serious stomach issues the first seven miles and was constantly looking for restrooms. Then I just didn't have legs today. I had wanted to get a good chunk of mileage in the 5:40s, but I just didn't have it today. I managed 7 miles under 6:00, but they were a struggle. This was easily one of the harder feeling long runs I've done since Ogden Marathon. I was so happy to be done, just spent.

I usually take two days after a hard run to go hard again or to go long, but this time I only took one day in between and I think that played a role. But at least the long run is out of the way and I can just go easy tomorrow morning.

Sorry man. Way to stick it out though. That can be brutal on a solo run. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
