Z3-4.

Today's run was the first long run in a long while - and it was an exercise in exceptional suck. The worst part of it was the unshielded sunlight - combined with the humidity that led to my walking. More than I wanted, but it was unavoidable. That would explain the progressively slower splits. The last mile split was faster only because it was in light. Seriously. It sucked ass.

I've never been in the Midwest during summer, so I was unprepared for the oppressive heat and humidity that is here. That sucks ass.

It didn't help me that I ate a White Castle Sack Meal No. 3 (10 White Castles, 2 french fries, and two Diet Cokes) after that while driving through St Louis and most of eastern Missouri. Mmmmm. 1400 calories of steamed grease and 600 calories of fries. It's the last White Castle I'll have for a while, so it was worth it. Besides, that's part of why I ran what I ran this morning. I remain unrepentant.
