I wanted to do 20 early Saturday, but woke up to flash floods and lightening storms from 4am-10am. No run. wedding at 11:30 then to Aly's last performance. Great day, just no run. Home about 9 pm so I moved my long run to Sunday between church services with no time to spare. Side effect was I had to do some heat training. Afternoon run, 81º and moderate humidity. Steady wind for some resistance too. All seemed to start fine and I did not push anything early. No need to crash and burn on a hot and sunny day. Ran 10 out and threw in a few half marathon pace miles. I did not bring fuel, but had plenty of water, chia fresca and emergen-c. Around mile 16 the heat just hit me all at once. Needed to stop multiple times for drinks and slowed down the pace down to high 9's. Miserable last 2 miles as I stopped at 19. Looks like I need more heat training. Glad to get the miles in, but I felt sick for about an hour and a half after.

47, cold rain and more strong winds. 17-19 mph sustainer. So I'll just chalk this up to resistance running 😊

AM- Beatiful day to run. 50º and sunny. The wind was a but too much, but less than earlier this week. All the rain this week left many of the bike path sections flooded so it was creative running for many streches today and quite a few loops to get the long run in. A few deer joined me which was better than the skunk Friday. 5 Mile WU and then 10 Mile at SBQMP (7:37-7:23 for all ten) and then 5 Mile cool down.
