Week 21: Eight miles

2:15 hours, 2:3 minute run/walk ratio

Good thing it was only an eight-miler today—I was completely exhausted, and had a hard time finishing. I don't know why I was so tired. I slept ten hours last night, but woke up still groggy and tired and never had any energy.

I did my run from Dennison & Highline, down Dennison to Valley, then Valley to Curry. I looped back on Valley to Dennison and back to Curry, then ran up Curry to Highline and back to Valley, then finally back on Valley to Dennison and up Dennison to Highline. I was okay for the first four miles or so, but running uphill on Curry to Dennison was very hard. I think it's a bigger hill on Curry than on Dennison. I kept up my running intervals until the last mile, but I walked most of the last mile. I did try to keep my walking speed up, and finished in a reasonable time, but I was very dizzy and tired when I got home. I've been napping this afternoon, and still feel tired.

But I got my eight miles in. I hope next week's run is better.
