muggy struggling for 8 miles --Sat. June 2

My Saturday morning run, which would have been a Friday p.m. run if I'd not done an all-nighter on Thursday/Friday night, became a Saturday evening run - -slow day from a late start. It was very muggy (if not too hot) and I wasn't feeling very sharp, more just _determined_ to get out, and worried that my weekly target of 25 miles in three runs was beyond reach.

So I took off for a simple rail trail, but it was as buggy as all get out, even with tons of spray. I pushed a bit for the first three miles, but then numbness came on and just short of 4 miles I had to stop. Walked and jogged a bit, then it seemed to recover and I ran again, but I was feeling really drained. Did another 4 plus miles, taking a right off the trail trail and joining the slightly less buggy road all the way home, up to the town common and home the regular way. Here's the combined run, with th etwo parts in parentheses:

Time: 1:06:51 (29:20 + 37:31)
Speed: 7.62 mph (8.1 + 7.3)
Distance: 8.49 (3.94 + 4.55)

Comment: not sure why I felt so drained. This week I need to get more frequency (duh!) and still somehow gt towards 30+ miles. Starting tomorrow. And I have to hope that the bike riding will help too.
