Distance: Run 3 miles, walk .6, run 1.5
Total run: 4.5
So, this was a really crazy run. I started off really well and even tried a different neighborhood. It was mostly downhill, which was bad because I think I went too fast. I also ran along one of the busiest streets in Chattanooga for about a 1/2 mile. There were sidewalks, but it was weird because so many cars passed me. A little over 2 miles in I hit a wall. I just couldn't go anymore. I was running in a flat area, but it was hot and little shade. I was also thirsty and didn't have any water with me. When I got to mile 3 I had to walk back to my house. (about .6 miles) I had a gatorade bottle waiting for me in the driveway. After a few drinks, I was determined to finish the last 1.5 miles. It wasn't pretty, but I finished.
I was having so much trouble I don't know how I am going to run the whole 6.2 mile Peachtree in a month or the 5 miles I have scheduled for next weekend for that matter!
