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! |
