Running in the Heat--July 5 - 11

[katluvr]

Thought it was time for a new thread!
So I was supposed to run on Monday--being off work and all. But we had a very rainy 4th of July weekend and continued to rain the 5th.
So out of bed early before work this AM, did a 4 miler. Takes me a good mile to get my pace faster than a 12 mm, then did about 11:15 - 11:40. Wasn't terribly hot, bit of a breeze.
So I am doing an 8 week until 1st or PR 5-K plan from Women's Running. Just felt if I had a plan I might be more motivated and stick with it. So we shall see!

We did an 8 miler over the weekend and a 30 min trail run off the mt bike today.

I did a brick this morning. It's actually not very hot here. It was only about 70 when I ran. It's very windy and that made the ride portion interesting.

Now the thermometer says it's 80 degrees but we've got our usual delta winds keeping it cool. It's a steady 18 - 20 mph wind today. Nice, I don't have to turn on the air conditioner!

Tomorrow I've got a 90 minute run on the books. I hope it's as cool.

Well, I haven't run at all the past two days--it's just too darn hot here!! Mid to upper 90s and humid. And it's 93 degrees in the house (no air conditioning). Yuck. Tomorrow I will be out of town for a job interview (which is Thursday morning but I'm not driving 4.5 hours each way in one day!) and will try to find a park or something in the area to run in if it isn't too hot (it might be though; it's directly west of where I am). I don't think I could ever live in the south...I wouldn't be able to handle that much heat! I'd rather deal with snowy winters.

I ran this morning because I was too lazy to ride. It turned into more of a run-walk, but i still got a good work out. It was cooler (72) at 6:30 this morning than it was yesterday, when i rode at 5 AM and it was 79. But, it's more humid and the fleas/mosquitos are out. I did a little over 3 miles. I am sick of this heat. Now I remember why I did indoor activity at the gym when I lived in AZ.
Jolt, where are you interviewing???

I'm interviewing at a hospital in Syracuse, NY. Getting ready to head out right now!
