Easy miles at 8:31 avg pace.

Second 20 miler ever, and first of this cycle. Miles 16-20 weren't pretty. Was acutely underfueled; I had planned a carb-y dinner the night before that didnt quite happen, and did not eat before the run. About 70-75 degrees; not too bad, but enough to get dehyrdrated quickly. Stopped for water for about 30 seconds 4-5 times, and stopped a couple of times in the last few miles, because I was exhausted!

I dont mind not eating before the run, but next time I have to commit to eating well the night before.

Still, good to get in the miles.

ETA: note to self;  the next morning am barely feeling the run in my legs/feet; at least partly, i think, because of running on the dirt trails wherever possible.
