Got in a Run, I Guess that is a Plus

I wanted to do 12 miles today. after church we went out to eat with some friends, then i had to get the work truck back to the clinic. i got home with about and hour and a half before i had to be at the catfish house to eat for my great uncle's birthday. i knew i would be pushing it to have time to run 12, so i thought maybe 10. by the time i got to the house and dressed and out the door, i knew i would barely have time to do 8 miles before it was dark, and on these roads i decided i better not run in the dark. i also knew i was pushing the limit of running too close to eating. i like to give myself 2 hours minimum if i eat a heavy meal. however, with this run it was barely 1.5 hours. with the heat, i was expecting that to be a problem. i had bad indigestion throughout the entire run. i decided to run the route i usually bike since it was closer to the house and i would be able to do more miles by getting to the run sooner. however, i also knew this route was a lot hillier than the other route and it would be tougher. the first 3/4 of a mile was uphill and for a good bit of it i has to fight a dog off. starting out uphill in this heat takes a lot out of me. i finally got to a level spot and started feeling much better. i also knew i had to take plenty of water breaks since i was starting earlier than usual and it was still pretty hot. i took breaks at 2 miles, 3 miles, 3.5 miles, 4 miles. when i turned around at 4 miles i could see a big dark cloud that i was running into. i decided to run another .5 mile and call emily, then turn around and run in the direction she would be coming from. with all of the breaks, it took me over 1 hour to run the 5 miles. here are the splits:

.5= 6.19 157
1.0= 5.53 12.13 166
1.5= 5.42 17.56 167
2.0= 5.42 23.38 167
2.5= 6.14 29.53 164
3.0= 5.28 35.22 168
3.5= 5.53 41.15 163
4.0= 6.39 47.55 155
4.5= 6.11 54.06 167
5.0= 6.22 60.28 160

i'm feeling pretty tired now, thought of the day is heat and humidity suck. i got a run in but, not as much or as fast as i wanted, today i guess i have to settle.
