Today was the hottest day recorded in Fort Smith history. So what did I do? I ran in it. Temp at 7 p.m. when I got off work: 113 (high was 115). I changed clothes at MAFCm, drove down to Creekmore Park and ran six laps, which really weren't all that bad. Very hot, obviously, but next to no humidity and a little breeze. Could have gone farther, and actually did stretch the run from four laps to six, but that was plenty to prove to myself that I could. Drove back to MAFC and did four miles on the track, with the last mile at MP. Very good run overall, completing 7.65 in less than 70 minutes. And the legs don't feel bad, almost an hour later. I'm pretty pleased. |
