spiraling downhill quickly

June 6, 2021 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: hot, humid, low 80s

Comments:
Started off at 8:30, feeling pretty fresh and optimistic. Headed down Reno and met Noah "Kale Boy" Kravitz at the azalea corner after running a 4:05 half mile. Decided to loop Dalecarlia, but by the time we were cuttin through Spring Valley I realized I was already feeling depleted... Maybe from donating blood on Thursday, maybe from the heat, maybe form dehydration (I did lose 6 lbs during the run), maybe from 2 months of less-than-robust training? A short water break at the Crescent trail fountain in Dalecarlia turned into an 8 minute chat with Abir. The break did not help me feel any fresher, though and I was milking every intersection we came to as we cut through Little Falls and trudged up Willard. Noah was very patient and took over the talking for the last two miles. A shame to have such good company tainted by such exhaustion.
