10.7 mile morning run. Over to GS then up the sand hill to powerline and up over to the water tank- then around the industrial park to finish. Well finishing the 10.7 mile run was like finishing a marathon this morning. Boy did I struggle. After a warm workout last night and then the bike ride home I must not have rehydrated very good because today after about 6 miles I was way dehydrated. It was a little warm this morning and I didn't get out until about 7:30 so those finishing miles were over 80 degrees but the main thing was just not having any fluid in my system. I got on the scale and was 145 lbs- pretty low for me considering I've been a little heavier since Ogden. (landreth 255.9)
7.5 mile run this afternoon. GS loop extended. My thermometer said it was 104 and the newspaper website said it was 103 but I'm guessing that out on the blacktop directly under the sun it was pushing 110. For some reason today I thought about trying to be an ironman guy and go brave the heat. Sweat idea Clyde especially after this morning. Anyhow it went better than you'd think it would. I stopped at the golf course restroom and soaked my hat and shirt which evaporated within a mile. The worst part was by the end of my run the skin on the top of my shoulders felt like it was on fire and I just had dry salt all over my body. But if I could push one or two of those out a week it would make me strong...
