It has been so hot lately, this week the temperatures are in the 90s, and it is humid. So HOT! Running in this is so hard. I decided to get up and run in the morning hoping that it would be cooler. But, I didn't get going right away, and I was actually still running at 11:00.
I got in a 5.75 run and actually ran in a 12:25 pace. I thought it was going to be closer to 15:00 minute miles! I walked a good deal more than I usually do. I sweated like crazy, and just felt yuck some of the time.
And crazy as it all sounds, I still loved running! I did take my inhaler before going and didn't struggle with breathing. It just was HOT.
When I got home, I drank a huge Accerlerade, then a water, and doused my head with water. Next time it is this hot, I need to run around 7:00 am, not 9:30 am!
I haven't decided whether I dislike running in the extreme cold or in the HOT heat. Which is worse. Right now the heat.
When my hair began to turn gray abundantly, a kindergartener pointed to my hair and said, "Mrs. Wheatley, you have silver highlights!" So, I'm not turning gray, I have Silver Highlights! And I'm a runner. This blog is about my adventures as a runner and asthmatic. Read on to follow my journey on my weekly runs and many races.
