Not a good day on the Riverfront Trail. After a really hard day at work, I decided to go straight from the office to the trail. The idea was to finish the run early to spend time with my wife before her knee surgery tomorrow morning. I got there at 6 p.m. to find 93-degree heat, plenty of humidity and plenty of Canada geese along the trail -- plus the things that Canada geese leave behind them.
Again, I tried to restrain myself as far as not starting out too fast and I started drinking early and often. Nice try, but not enough. Thoroughly miserable run, most of which I spent saying "I'll never run in this kind of heat again," when I wasn't stepping over and around goose guano. I'd like to say I ran all the way, but I didn't. Just not a good day. Plus my wife got impatient waiting on me to finish.
One of those live and learn days. I've had bad training days before and will again. Oh well, off to the hospital in the morning. |
