So today was to be a test of another long run, as this was week 4 in a build up and I knew I was tired. After last weeks tough mudder and 12 mile training run 2 days before that, this was to be 14. Since I also signed up for the Lake Hodges 50k in Oct, I thought I would run on the trails there.
Here is how it went..... or maybe its better to say how it didn't go.

Split	Hours:Minutes:Seconds Time	Miles Distance	Minutes per Mile Avg Pace
Summary	2:11:02.6		10:46
1	9:04.1	1.00	9:04
2	9:19.6	1.00	9:20
3	10:04.2	1.00	10:04
4	9:37.3	1.00	9:37
5	9:22.3	1.00	9:22
6	13:46.6	1.00	13:47
7	9:55.5	1.00	9:55
8	9:57.2	1.00	9:57
9	9:53.3	1.00	9:53
10	12:07.6	1.00	12:08
11	12:32.0	1.00	12:32
12	13:22.8	1.00	13:23
13	2:00.2	0.17	11:50

Unfortunetly there was also tropical clouds and a ton of humidity. My truck showed the temp and it wasnt pretty at 103. I definetly over heated and ran out of fuel and fluid. Mile 6 was terrible and had no breeze in the valley I was in. I did the first 10 or so of the race course and trying to practice my trail running. So with a couple days to go in the week, here is where I am.
