Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Back to the oven of Texas - 6 miles - 3 on my own and 3 with Carrie and Erica 

Today's plan was a 30 min temp run, but turned into a survival run.   At 5 am the temp was 85 degrees, 80% humidity and dew point was 65 - I love heat but this went beyond my ability to deal with it - so we survived.

We did two 3.5 mile loops and the plan was easy and then tempo but we finished with several runs through sprinklers to cool off.  

Glad it is done and only 60 more days of this heat, but who's counting.

Ave Pace 9:36

Had an early flight and this was all I could squeeze in.

Oh the heat!!  Another bad run on a heat filled morning, but the heat is not the only thing to blame.  I only had 3.5 hours of sleep last night and was going to bail but woke up and couldn't go back to sleep.    That combined with poor eating yesterday and the heat made for a bad combination.    I could never get into a rhythm and pushed through 3+ miles and then took two short walking breaks through mile 4.  At that point when I would start to run, nausea and stomach cramping set in and so I only ran 1/2 a mile in what was 2 miles home.  Crappy, crappy and no end to the heat or stress in sight.
