Notes
Wasn't even sure I could do 8 today. When I saw the weather I was feeling very unmotivated -- rainy and windy. First 4 miles were not enjoyable. I was definitely just slogging along, feeling very sluggish. Took me an hour to do the first 4 miles but did the second 4 (not counting the .2) in less than an hour.
Had my first gel ever at mile 4. Hammer Espresso, very yummy.
Feet got soaked because I ran through several patches of wet soggy grass. But SmartWool socks are so awesome -- my feet felt fine
