AM: 17 miles easy

I knew today would be tough because it was 76 with a 74 dew point at 7:00 am this morning. I thought I'd be ok doing 18 in this shit because I was going to carry gatorade and re-fill the bottle with water. I started feeling a little off after 5 miles, which is the mile I realized my shorts and shoes were completely soaked already with my own sweat. I was feeling heavy so I turned around at 8.5 instead but began to feel ill a mile after that. I literally could not move my legs and I was dizzy. I stopped and drank three bottles of water at the water fountain. It was no use. I had to run easy and take a break after each mile to make it back. I still feel awful.
As I was suffering out there I began to realize that perhaps I was experiencing heat exhaustion. With a dew point that high your sweat does evaporate and you can literally cook if you are out there too long.

I also think I may have overtrained this week. I was under the mistaken assumption I could train just as hard in extremely humid/hot weather as I could in the winter--I was dead wrong. Didn't feel that great yesterday but I just ignored it.

So, tomorrow I'm going to the pool, and I'm cancelling any remaining Saturday doubles on my schedule. I'll probably permanently replace one of my easy runs with a pool session.

I better go, I'm feeling sick.

amazing weather, 68 degrees with significantly less humidity. My shorts were not soaked half way through the run for the first time in two weeks. It was great.
