Reminded myself once again why I hate running in hot weather. Waited until 8:00 to let today's record-setting temps go down (a little), set out in 85 degree weather, and it was still 80 when I finished nearly two hours later. It could have been worse (low humidity, a bit of a breeze), but still I got light-headed in the last mile, which obliged me to back off a bit lest I pass out or something. Still finished the run in 1:49, barely over 9:00 pace.
Have some decisions to make. Tomorrow is my niece's wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, both of which I am supposed to attend. But since the rehearsal is at 4 p.m. and there is no way I can leave work before 5, that ain't gonna happen. And both of them are an hour-plus drive from here, so I don't think the dinner at 7 is going to happen either. Not for me, anyway; my wife will have to represent us. But I'll be at the wedding Saturday afternoon. the question there is whether I run 20 before the wedding, or put that off until Sunday morning and do 8 or 10 on Saturday morning. Weather may play a factor there too. |
