Crash and burn tonight. Or crash, anyway. Stepped off into a ditch alongside 40th Street trying to avoid a truck who didn't want to give me any room. Of course, I couldn't see the ditch because of the truck's headlights, which didn't help, and the edge of the ditch coincided exactly with the edge of the pavement. Three inches too lar to the left, and down I went. Couple of feet deep too; lucky it wasn't full of water, or broken glass, or any number of t hings. Just skinned my left hand and right knee. The run had not been going very well anyway; it was still in the 80s and a nice breeze when I started had subsided, so I was dragging. But I sucked it up and got through at a 10:20 average, including all the walk/fall-down breaks.
I'd actually felt pretty good all day. Let myself sleep in for the first time in quite a while. All the way to 9:30 (ooooh). Kinda gave me an idea how sleep-deprived I've been. I think I'll make a point of getting caught up between now and whenever I start work. |

Hill repeats. Ninety degrees. Not a good combination. But I tried anyway. Got through five of them. We were locked out of the track, so Ron had to improvise. Also locked out at Springdale before I drove down there. Legs really stiff after Sunday night's run, so struggled a bit.
One item of interest: A very attractive blonde, right age range. There with her teenaged son, which is no big deal (kinda comes with the age range thing). Also there with her wedding ring. A big deal. Rats. |

Another Thursday "fun run" in high heat and humidity. HI was at least 105 this afternoon, and forecast/promised scattered showers didn't arrive. Miserable. All of us struggled, even the triathlete drones.
Might go out later, if the rain ever arrives, and get in a couple more miles. Legs are fine; it's just the the heat sapped me. We were dripping all over the floor at FF; good thing it's still bare firehouse concrete on the floors. |

| Morning run today, starting at 8ish. It was a little cooler, but not much easier. Bright, bright sun, and I over heated very quickly. It wasn't too awful running into the wind, but if not, it felt just like running on a dreadmill without a fan. No cooling whatsoever. To make it worse, I was getting nauseated or reflux or something. Struggled through with several walk breaks. It just doesn't seem like I'm acclimating to the heat at all. I guess I need to run only in the rain. Tomoirrow is 20 weeks to CIM. I guess I will begin a training plan, either the Hudson masters plan or the regular Hudson program. |
