SIADI some where between 75 and 77 degrees Hot and Humid
I decided that saving my long runs for the end of the week is well a bad idea. I moved last weeks eight miler to today do to my whole tooth incident last week. Also, I have been pretty consistent in not running on Sundays so I figure mondays are a great day for a long run. I may run 9 on friday. We shall see how that works out. I don't want to fall behind on my long runs for this training season since I really want that sub 2 hour 1/2 marathon this year for some reason.
I brought with me a frozen water bottle. It was completely melted by mile 4 and warm water by 5.5. Blah.
I put ice in my buff folds on my head. Either I didn't put enough or the buff is so good at soaking up liquids that I never felt the melted ice. Must work on that.
I also did not allow myself to walk up the hills. I said I could walk at the top. This seemed to work.
Also, I found I was skipping runs due to lack of sleep and then the heat. Well I decided I will wake up at 7 (and hopefully be in bed by midnite (work is determining my bedtime lately). Seven hours seems to me a good medium for my sleeping.
On a NRR note The SO and another couple went to wine tasting in Tabor Hill-Benton Harbor, MI. It was a lot of fun. We already are making tentative plans for another weekend getaway for maybe tennessee next time. They are a sweet couple. I suggested next time we go to Makers Mark brewery b/c that is more my style. I continually try to find a wine I like but I just don't like the taste. They all taste bitter to me!
Happy running all. |
