So last night was the Rays vs Socks playoff game. I ate junk (white food with lots of salt) and enjoyed my baseball game beer. Not the best "pre long run" dinner. Got home after 11 PM (9:30-10 is my normal bedtime) and was midnight before really got in bed. Not making excuses but I was not setting myself up for the best run this AM. These 9 mile were gnarly. The cool front has not come through yet. Although it is pleasant in the shade with a breeze...it is HOT in the sun with no breeze. I turned my 9 mile "run" into a run/walk and it was very, very, slow. I got so hot! I hate it when I feel like I am over heating and I am barely running.

On the bright side. I did 9 miles. Even if a walked some. It was a beautiful day and my long runs take me downtown along the water front and it a beautiful view. I'm not even looking at the time or pace....it really just doesn't matter right now.

Need to rest up. We have ticket for tonights game and it starts at 8:30....you can imagine what time it ends. And it's win or end of the season for us.
