Exercise Type: Run

Weather: low 80s and humid

Comments:
Met Spike Albrittain at Peirce Mill at 7:30am. We looped up the Melvin Hazen valley and back down past the Rock Creek Mansion. Then we took the bike path to the Shoreham intersection and returned to the mill along the bike path. I'd hoped to go 45-60 minutes, but had to turn us back early as I was completely running on empty. Legs felt like I was finishing a long run, breathing was fairly labored, and energy was low. worst of all, motivation and confidence are at rock bottom. Liam patiently listened to me whine the whole time. I know I'll get through this period, whether is is the loss of my red blood cells with last week's donation, lingering effects of dehydration from Sunday, or just the inevitable fatigue of summer build up and heat... I'm hoping I'll come out the other side soon. Trying to remain patient. Distance was likely well under 5 miles, but I'm rounding up for effort.
