I was supposed to do this run yesterday buy we got home a lot later than I expected from Myrtle and needless to say I was pooped, so I pretty much just passed out. But anyways, I slept in and ran mid-day in the heat, which was suprisingly fine with my body. I guess I got a little bit acclimated to the heat at the beach! I did 1 buchanan loop, then down to South River road, all the way down that and back, then back to the loop. It was a solid run except for that killer hill on the way back up from river road. I started side-stitching and could definitely tell as the ran progressed how little water I drank this week. Funny thing though - I actually lost weight over the course of that trip? Who the heck goes essentially on vacation and looses weight?? Not surprised though because I ran, danced, biked, and swam so much, in combination with the fact that we are broke teenagers and really barely ate except for dinner because decent food is expensive these days. SUCH a fun week though, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Oh & also, I didn't mention my pace because my watch somehow died or broke or something in the saltwater so I had to run this naked. It was actually really awesome and freeing because I am definitely one of those people who is constantly worrying about my splits. Maybe I'll do more naked runs in places like this where I know my exact mileage anyways from now on.
