Good and Bad

The good news is that I did 14 miles really strong and I did run and walk 18 miles. The bad news is I walked! I'm not counting it. I got up morbidly early this morning and checked weather.com. It looked like our high was going to be about 85 (around 1 pm) and that Lake Murray was going to be the same as my local weather - for once! Since I figured I'd be done around 11 or 12, I decided to go to Lake Murray because it was only going to be a couple of degrees hotter. Turns out, weather.com was soooo very wrong! When I finally got back to my car, I saw that it was 91 degrees out there! Let me tell you, I felt much less bad about my 14 miles! Way too hot. So I think it was probably 88 when I started to walk. Do you think tomorrow is too soon to try again? I feel pretty good. I was thinking that I could get up early again and keep it local because it was at least 10 degrees cooler here - as usual. When will I learn to stop trusting weather.com?!? Frustrating! Anyway, I may call a redo tomorrow. We'll see how I feel in the am. But at least I got 14 really good miles in.

Yeah, that is way too hot to be running that far! I'm amazed you could 14. But good for you! It won't be that hot in San Francisco in the middle of October so that's something to look forward to.

That is very true. I consider the heat training like my 'high altitude' training! Less miles equal more. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway!
