20 miles: Pollen or something else?


Photo: From around mile 14.5 on map below

I ran 20 miles today (560 calories, 2 endurolytes, 2.5 liters of water). I stuck with the plan of running 20 if it was cooler and using the shorter run (not 30) to work a bit on speed. My average pace per mile was about 2 minutes faster than my last 30. It wasn't so much that I was fast today as that last 30 was slow.

I've had that feeling that sickness is coming. However, it might just be pollen. My wife told me its a very high pollen day. My wife and son are both effected about the same. I don't get it that bad but it could just be that. Either way, spending a bit less time on my speed seemed like a good idea.
