Respect the distance

Lesson learned from today’s run: respect the distance. It doesn’t matter how far or how short your run is, respect the distance. I had 6 miles on tap this morning. I didn’t think too much of it. I’ve run it before, no big deal. Respect the distance. I did not eat enough yesterday, I didn’t drink enough water yesterday; I went to bed over two hours later than usual. Yup, you guessed it, today’s 6.2 miles spit me up and chewed me out. As I struggled through the last two miles, angry with myself for making rookie mistakes, wondering why I continue to make the fueling epic fail I realized that I did not respect the distance. Lesson learned. Maybe next time I’ll remember.

Happy running y’all!
