tough run

had a really tough 17 miles today...it started out hard and never got easier...though i did get to practice a little of the talking to myself thing that i am sure will happen during ironman...like your body is telling you to stop and walk or just stop and you have to convince yourself that is not a good idea...try to calm your self down when you are just struggling...so that was fun

not sure what my deal was...but perhaps lack of post ride hydration yesterday...i think i maybe had a glass of water...ught i know...i know...and i do know better...it was probably more like 3 glasses but still not enough...

my legs were heavy and tired...by the end of things...they were also really tight...i went home pretty much right after i was done because the only thing that was really getting me through was the thought of an ice bath...it totally helped...it was a tough day but i got through...i ran...averaging 10.30s...my head was not happy with that...but it was really all my body could muster today..
