Well I signed up for that 10-miler on Sunday as I said I might, strictly for practice drinking water from aid stations (and a flat place to do a longer run will be nice, too). First race I'll have done over 5K.

So now they come up with the weather report saying it's going to be the first hot day of the year. Been running in mid-70s, highs of low 80s, and the forecast for Sunday is for a high of 93.

More motivation to run faster and get it done with before the temp gets above 85°F I guess. Although as it's not a goal race I haven't been doing any kind of taper and do intend to keep on with my normal training for the rest of the week.

Accountability post: since I won't be carrying water, I Will. Do. Whatever. It. Takes. To. Hydrate. Properly. Even. If. It. Means. Coming. To. A. Complete. Stop. At. Every. Aid. Station.

Hear that, self?
