We had planned on running two loops of 5.5 each so that we could stop by the car and get water instead of carrying it. Let's just say, it didn't go as planned. Nothing over exciting except it is HOT! Last night at 9 pm it was still 99 degrees and I knew we were in trouble and at 5:15 this morning it was 82 degrees, 58% humidity and the dew point was at 61. It was oppressive. We could not find a groove or rhythm and it just became a struggle. Saskia was having issues with her foot and so the weather only made the entire process worse. So we made it one loop and added on to give us 6 miles with an avg pace of 9:18 and I took her home. Once I got home I headed back out and got another 4 totaling 10. I felt much, much better and the only pro to living on a hill is that you do get wind and it helped cool things off. I actually felt really good the entire time and ended with an avg pace of 8:18. Now I have sat down all I want to do is sleep...... Too much to do!
