June 35 Miler

Keeping with my long run plan for this year, I knocked out my June long run. Justin joined me at 5 AM for my first 17 and ½ mile lap which we knocked out in about 3 and ½ hours. My second lap was solo and slower. The temperature rose and the humidity kicked into gear which contributed to slowing down. Throw in the fact that lactic acid was also rearing its ugly head. I felt that at the end I was just putting one foot in front of the other to “will” myself forward. I could only wonder if this is how I will feel during my 100 miler later this year. I hope not but I fear that it might come to be.
