I was really excited to run today. At xc we were supposed to do a tempo, but nobody else was except for people much faster than me, so I just went easy with a group of people who had also taken this last week off. We mostly chatted while running. It was a lot of fun, but I wish I had done a tempo instead. Around 4:00 I felt like I should do an actual tempo, so I went on a run. I was actually doing pretty well, even though it was pretty hot. My first mile was a second faster than was I had to do. My throat began feeling a little dry, but I didn't think much about it. When I turned around a 1.5 miles, I just felt the heat rush through me. I continued to go at the pace for only a couple meters and I had to slow down. After a while I felt as if I really needed to stop which meant I felt horrible. I began running again and cut half a mile out of my run by taking a short cut. I regretted my run, but I got more miles in.
