This weekend is a step back weekend where I don't add any miles and my "long" run consist of two shorter back to back runs on Saturday and Sunday. Liam came with me on both days since Jessica was at work. Saturday, I got out there at 8:00 and was lucky to find a parking spot. There was some 5k for AIDS race going on. We ran for 1:45, I estimate about 10 miles. It was sweltering by the end. Sunday, Liam and I went mass and didn't get on the trail until 10:45am. We ran 2:15 and again I estimate the distance to be about 13 miles. It was freaking roasting. Liam was a trooper. I just lathered him in sun screen and bug spray and gave him some juice and he never made a peep. I ended up drinking just over a gallon of fluids and still ended up losing 4lbs in water weight after it was said and done. My legs felt good the entire time and with the exception of the imminent dehydration that was setting in, I felt really good. Time to rehydrate and rest up. Next weeks long run is really long. Until then.
