Training - Week 8 Day 4 Long Run

I usually do this run on Saturday morning, but I wasn't feeling all that up to running in the rain yesterday morning. So instead, I slept in and took an extra rest day. This morning, I didn't feel all that up to running either, but by about 2pm the guilt started talking to me. So I headed out for a run, thinking I would decide when I got out there how far I would go. I ran 12 miles in about 2:30:00 and with the exception of a couple of restroom breaks, I ran the whole thing.

After the run, I stretched some and headed home, and on my way home, my legs started burning and hurting. So in to the cold bath I went, which did the trick. It may not be the most comfortable thing to take a cold bath, but my legs feel 100% better. Good run today. Ill do next weekend's long run in the morning, however, when it is cool out, as I was really really hot on the run today.
