Meant to get up and run at dawn. Didn't. Finally got on the trail at 9:30 a.m. Bad move. Should have done dawn, then gone back to bed. Plan was to do somewhere between 4.2 and 7 miles, depending on how I felt. Ended up doing 5, and that was really pushing it. I think I skipped dinner last night, and I could tell, even though I'd had some breakfast this morning. But mainly it was just the sun beating down on me. I will not be surprised if I have a sunburn this afternoon. The temp was not all that bad (high 70s rising into the 80s as I ran), but no wind, little shade, and lots of humidity (67% now, higher earlier, I think). Sweatband could not keep up with the perspiration, so I ran semi-blind. Oh well. HTFU and got it done anyway. |
