Running in the Heat--July 5 - 11

[colby]

We did a 50 min run this morning. Dare I say....it was hot and humid.

At the end of the run, this wet stuff started to fall from the sky. We had no idea what it is...I went home and googled it. It is a substance called rain. I have heard of it before, but not seen it.....

It fell for about 30 mins before it stopped and the big, yellow heat-o-lator in the sky came back out ...... and cooked my brain.....

Sometimes the summer rain is a relief, and sometimes it just makes it seem more hot.

Ran 3.5 very hot, humid miles early this morning. I had to keep running because if you stop for a minute, the deerflies and horseflies start dive bombing you. They love sweaty skin for some reason.

Rode to the pool last night, swam 1/2 mile then rode home. I'm doing a sprint tri in a couple of weeks and am concerned about the heat. I'm afraid it's going to be miserably hot.

3.5 on the treadmill today. Had new music on the MP3 player, so felt pretty upbeat. Too hot/humid to run outside this time of year unless you can get up early to do so, and I just can't seem to do that!

Day 4 of not running due to the heat...when will it stop? Tomorrow I am definitely either running or swimming. Enough of sitting on my derriere!
