<p>I ran my last long run today. Well, last long training run, that is. 21.1 miles @ 8:04 avg pace. The last 5 miles were hard, and I figured out later that it's because I got pretty dehydrated out there. I stopped for water at 2 miles, 9 miles and 12 miles, but by 16-17, I was fading fast. Had about 32 oz of water all told and when I got home I was still down 7 lbs. I tell ya, even though the temps weren't that warm (upper 60's, low 70's by the end), it was the 25% humidity that really did me in. Just sucks the fluid right out of you... 3 glasses of chocolate milk and 3 big glasses of water later, I feel much better. Glad that's done, on to taper! Race in 2 weeks...!</p>
