slept in, which was nice...but it was too warm by the time we finally got out. First day this year of hot running...I forgot how hard it is to run in the hot, hot, heat.
We started about 10mm pace, then things went downhill for MR around mile 5. We'd gone for an out and back, so he'd only gone 1/2 way and had to take walk breaks. I would run ahead, then back track to see him (share some water) and then go out ahead. So my last 5 miles were faster than my first 5.
I think the combination of the sun, the heat, the grease from the night before & the sigh of relief that spring break had finally started was all too much for me. I ended up needing 2 naps that day just to stay awake late enough to go to sleep at 9. Exhausted!
Pine pollen is everywhere. There were yellow clouds of pollen that we were running through. Glad I've got my allergy meds! Dogwoods in bloom!!! |
