My quads are feeling stronger so I decided to keep running after 1 SF loop. I ran back home at mile 12 because the heat was getting to me, soaked my head, ate some salty foods, drank orange juice and water, then headed out for 6 more miles. When I finished I ate a JJ, but I was starting to feel nauseaus because of the heat, and I lost my appetite.
At mile 9 I ran into Yong, one of the guys I ran with last year at the track. He was out on a 14 miler, training for the Chicago marathon. He hopes to qualify for Boston by running a 3:09. We talked about ultra's and he said maybe we would run one together next summer.
Right now I'm resting, rolling an ice bottle on my legs, and feeling a warm lethargy creeping through my veins. |
