Today was insane.  First mistake was leaving here at about 9 am.  A bit too early for the heat here.  I also really didn't know where I would be running.  I started along a back road that ended up going around the perimeter of the base.  It was a dirt road so I had to be kinda careful with my footing.  HOT!  I felt like I was going to melt away.  When I got to about 3 miles I was at the west gate.  I ran a bit further and turned around to go back toward the gym.  I knew that if I didn't get water soon I would start to have issues.  I was sweating like a beast pig.

 I went to the gym and got some water.  When I went back outside I just felt gross from the thick heat and humidity.  I turned around and went back inside to run on the treadmill for a bit.  The problem here was that my nipple was a bit chafed.  You can't run inside the gym with your shirt off so I was having to hold it out front.  That got annoying so after 2 miles I got off and went back outside.

 I was at about 6.7 at this point.  I ran down past the commissary to check the hours and then to my room where I grabbed some money. Then I left and ran another 2 miles around the base and back to the commissary where I bought some chocolate milk and gatorade. I looked like I had just stepped out of the shower. The self-checkout wouldn't take my 5 dollar bill so the guy had to come help me.  He said it was kinda wet and switched it with a cashier.  I was just dripping.  It was a bit embarrassing.  I then ran back to my room which got me to 10 miles.  Finally!  Felt like the longest run of my life!  That's the last time I run that late in the morning.  Sheesh!

Yuck! What a morning. Sorry. Funny at the commissary though :) This is why I have a love/hate relationship with summer. No sleeping in, but it's not horribly cold.
