It . . .was . . .hot . . .
My latest epiphany - 3:15 PM is not the optimum time to run 6 miles. I know - my brilliance astounds you; I'm used to that reaction. Besides the fact that it was sunny and approximately one million degrees, I didn't even prep well.
I don't usually run with water, but, using at least one brain cell, I took an 8 oz bottle. This was easily about 12 oz too little. I never felt light-headed, but I definitely felt the effects. Not the normal tired at all.
Stopped a few times in the shade just to cool down and I probably ended the run about the right time (as in before I ended up a quivering mass on the sidewalk).
My first 5 minutes back in the house was spent with my head underneath the tap in the kitchen. This whole running water in the house thing - what a great invention!
Anyway, so much for sleeping in even a little bit on Sundays. My long runs are now going to be first thing in the morning.
