11.30 miles in the morning.
9 miles in the afternoon in 108 degree weather!
I ran with the cross country team again and then added on 6 more miles. I went out towards the Arizona Strip. It was a nice change of scenery for one of my runs. Legs felt really good. It seems like everyday gets better and better.
It was a scorcher this afternoon. I am going to try more of these afternoon runs when it is really hot. I think it will help me focus on my breathing a lot more. I will try and stay relaxed even though the heat might not be very bearable. I made sure I drenched my hat again which helps out a ton. I kept it easy the first half and then pushed it slightly on the way back. I got home and drank a big glass of water and then jumped in the pool. I won't have this luxury everyday after I run so I will have to take advantage of it every chane possible.
Katey and I are now heading over to Zion to camp out for the evening and then go on a hike in the morning with some friends. I will try and get some miles in early tomorrow morning. I am going to run through part of the park. |
