you are right. Give it a couple weeks and it won't feel as hot. When I ran home on Tuesday, it surprised me that 88F didn't seem too bad.

5 miles is about the limit for no water. Thats pushing it. Have you run with a handheld bottle before?

Good job in getting out there and toughing it out.

Thanks Mike, Tougher mentally and physically also. There are studies to prove that training in the heat facilitates the growth of capillaries in the sweat glands of the skin and an increase in blood volume. But only to a certain extent. Careful out there! I have been to Kentucky, I tell people all the time the heat here is nothing like it is in the southeast.

learn to love the bottle (water and sports drink that is)
