After work today I headed out to run the 7 mile loop from Folly Lick to Runnymead to the W&OD Trails. But after only 4 miles I knew I wouldn't do the entire loop. I had to stop and catch my breath twice in mile 5. I really started out too fast, but I was also tired from a day's work and last night's entertaining. Lots of good food in my belly doesn't necessarily make for a good afternoon run!
After 5 miles I was still nearly 1.5 miles from home. I walked a little while and then ran an extra mile (jogged really) and then walked home.
The lesson here... I think I need to do my runs before lunch (around noon) before I get too tired from work and too full from lunchtime.
