AM: (8 miles, 1:11:49). I got a late start today, I was just too tired to get up early, even though I still woke up when the sun came up (about 4:15). I did not want to look up the temperature because I knew it was hot. I told Dean before I left that it was really hot, and he said, "luckily you are tough" - ha. Anyway, I adjusted my pace (ran about 10-15 sec/mile slower) and it wasn't too bad, I did have to get water about 50 mins into the run. I got home, looked up the weather, and it was hotter than I thought it was, I thought the temp would be low and it was just the intensity of the sun that made it feel hot, but no ... the two weather spots nearest my house measure between 89-92F (at 9AM!). Now, I have to hydrate well because it will be even warmer this afternoon when I run. I am pre-blogging 4.5 miles (because I am going to my favorite spot to run tonight -- the first time since the marathon!), but I might back off the mileage if I don't feel right. I have to decide between running earlier in the evening (when it will be hotter) and getting more recovery time before tomorrow morning or run when it is a little cooler, but not get as much rest between today and tomorrow. One thing is for sure, I have to get up early tomorrow it would be tough to do a long run in this heat. PM: (4.5 miles, very easy). GOOD LUCK UVM RUNNERS!! (128.6)
