I slept in a little bit this morning and set out just after 10:30. I ran to the Al Buehler trail and looped around West Campus before heading north on Campus Drive for a loop on East Campus with a detour through the Duke Gardens. About 10 miles in, the sky opened up and dumped rain for the next 45 minutes. This actually felt amazing as it's probably the coolest weather we've had since I've been in North Carolina.
At about 1:15 in, I tried to stop for water at the West Campus athletic fields, only to see chalky liquid pour from the fountain: despite the fact that my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth at this point, I passed. I finished up with a few more loops on the golf course trail (aka the Al Buehler Trail, where I finally got water) for 2:28 total. Given that I only took water during the run, I felt pretty strong today during my longest run in quite some time.
