8 miles in the morning

8 miles this evening

Morning run up through industrial park and up the hill to the water tank then back down trail to the house. Felt really good for a Monday morning- one of the best Moday runs I've had in a long time. Around 7:20 pace

This afternoon I went out at 6:30 and it was still over 100 degrees out. I did fine for the first 6-7 miles hitting 6:30 pace or faster. Then in the 7th mile I got very dry and needed to be done fast. So I only went 8 instead of the 10 I had planned. Once I got to my in-laws house and finished the run I felt sick to my stomach and it took almost a half hour to cool down.

Moral of the story- When you go out and it is over 100 out, don't go more than 5 miles or so without water.

Thanks for the invitation this last weekend. It was one of the best running experiences I have ever had. The team environment and the amazing people could not have been better. Thanks again.
