I ran home from school today. I was finishing up some of the final things that I needed to do in order to finish my thesis. My problem was that by the time I finished what I needed to work on, it was the middle of the day, and my route home is completely exposed to the sun. So, I ran home in approximately 103 degree heat with a decent headwind for about half of the run, while wearing a backpack that added approximately 5 extra pounds. I didn't want to get myself in trouble with overheating so I made no effort to push myself at all, and I made it home in 1:10:44, almost 2 minutes slower than an 8:00 average. |
