This was bad. I mentally didn't want to do this run because of the cold and wind. And since long distance running is mostly mental, this run never went well. Physically I felt great, but I kept getting hot then cold then hot. I felt like a Katy Perry song. Oh well, one bad run in the training cycle won't be a problem. So much for the 20+ miler though.

    We are all entitled to a bad run or 2 during a training cycle.

    Tough run, Greg, but I am glad to know that others feel the same sometimes. We are human. You'll be alright, bro. Thanks for sharing.
