Today I have a 2 hour run scheduled.  I should have gotten up at 5 am for this run due to the 95 degree temps and humidity, but I did not plan that far ahead.  The twisted thing about this sentence I’ve given myself today?  I’m looking forward to the long run in the heat.  I’m looking forward to how difficult its going to be.  I’m looking forward to sweating & sweating a lot.  It’s been a very long week, and I think I need this long run.  I need it to clear my mind, to work through things.  I need to run until I cannot run any more.  I need this because at the end of it, I’m going to either feel better about things or I’m going to feel completely exhausted (if things go well, both feelings will be accomplished).  Either way, I’m looking forward to that feeling.  The exhaustion. The accomplishment.
