BAD training day! :(

so everyone told me I need to be doing long runs/bike/swim, individually.

Today, I decided to run to work - 6 miles.  Something I used to do 2-3 times/week when training for my 10-miler.

UGH - this morning was awful.  I *have* been running, but only like 2-3 miles lately.

Usually I count the first mile as warm-up, and move on from there.

I could NOT get into it morning!!!   4 miles and one port-a-poty stop later, I FINALLY got into my running groove!  Then after about a mile of actually enjoying my run, my leg strated to cramp up, and I really had to push through that last mile...

I know we all have good days and bad days, but I really think I'm starting to understand the value of long-distance training.  I definitely need to be doing more long-distance runs!!! (it's been too long since I last did one!)
