Maybe not too smart

Distance: 12 miles
Time: 1:47:40
Average: 8:59
Run type: long
Location: South Platte Woods
Weather: 70
Aches: None.
Injuries: None
Session notes: Yeah, I don't really know why I ran 12 miles on a day I was supposed to run 6 but was planning to run 9. My schedule this week is all messed up with conflicts, and I missed my Monday run, so I decided to run 9 to catch up with my mileage a bit. After two days off, I felt real good, and immediately started thinking maybe I'd do my long run tonight so I wouldn't have to put 2 hours into running on Saturday. The weather was decent, and it seemed doable. The only potential problem was that I wasn't carrying any hydration. I eventually decided to give it a shot, and it went pretty well for the first 10 miles. After that, though, it was a bit tough. I kept going, though, figuring I could always make it another two miles. I made it, but not step farther. And there are no more long or hard runs this week.
