Long two days. I ended up not running yesterday morning because Wednesday night my legs were feeling the last two days and my knee was achy. Even better, my husband woke up early and worked over my legs before I had to leave for Houston. Should have been done right there. Due to the storm last night, I got to wait an extra two hours at the airport in Houston, circle Love Field for an hour, go to Oklahoma City for fuel and then fly back and drive the hour to my home......crawled into bed at 2:30 am and did not set an alarm. My kids started getting up at 6, so I got 1.5 more hours of sleep than if I ran, but not a lot. I had a few meetings this morning and went in but was home by noon for a quick nap. I ended up heading out at 2:00 pm - peak heat and sun of the day - 81 degrees and very little shade. I told myself pace didn't matter, it was about getting the run in. I ended up keeping it at an easy effort but I was surprised at how fast the easy effort was, especially in the heat. It wasn't as horrible as I was expecting but by mile 4 my core body temp had increased quite a bit and I was in count down. I finished at Walgreens and bought a gatorade and water, ran to the school and then walked home with my 2nd grader and picked up my 5th grader from her school. Our walking took as long as my run..... Looking forward to a long run tomorrow. GOOD LUCK TO ALL RUNNING ST. GEORGE!!!
Avg Pace 8:31
