5 miles at 9:00am. Weather=90 degrees, 46% humidity, 63 dew point, 2 mph wind, sunny. Average pace=9:46/m. Went really slow because I felt very hot. I think I'm dehydrated. I had a headache in the middle of the run so I slowed down even more. I'm going to recover and I might go out again later for another 5. I'm going to try for 10 miles a day this week. --------------------------------------- 3.8 miles at 2:30 pm. Weather= 103 degrees, 22% humidity, 57 dew point, 6 mph wind, sunny. Average pace=9:43/m. 103 degrees, I'm crazy I know. It's just that my 1 year old took a nap at this time and my husband is home today to watch the 3 year old so it was the most convenient time for me to leave. I must have drank about a gallon of ice water and I ate a gu before I left. I wore a hat and sunscreen... and I carried a water bottle. The plan was to do 5 miles and I only made it 3.8. I actually felt pretty good internally, if that makes any sense. The reason I cut the run short was that my skin felt like it was on fire. The sunscreen did not do it's job. I found myself wishing I had on more clothes to cover my skin. Surprisingly, I wasn't as hot on the inside... it was my skin that was hurting from the sun. I actually felt more hot and miserable this morning when I was dehydrated. Next time I want to run when it's 100 degrees outside, I'm going to the park and running in the shade. |
