Saturday's long-run was definitely a forgettable experience. Out the door at 430 am in the hopes of getting 17-miles in before the world was up for breakfast. It was one of those morning when, early on, I knew it would be tough. Never really felt it. After pushing it for a couple of miles with the hope of getting through, I bonked at 15.22 miles: completely-out-of-fuel, ready-to-pass-out bonk. There are worse things, to be sure; however, there is a brutal sense of hopelessness associated with not being able to run another step without the fear of passing out. Anyhow, I survived and am poised to step out the door for an easy six-miles this morning. The training regime continues: this week has 6.5 x 4 and an 18-mile long run on Saturday. Week 11 is 44-miles of training, the longest of Higdon's training program.
