Hot Hot Hot
Today was HOT!! With the heat index it felt like 110 this afternoon. Hopefully today was the worst of it. My fear is that this morning was not as hot as tomorrow morning is going to be. The afternoon is not supposed to be quite as bad tomorrow since there is the threat of thunderstorms. I was very happy that I got my run in during the "cooler" morning hours.
I didn't feel too bad this morning. I made an effort to stay relaxed and not do too much. The G Trail had hardly anyone on it, so most people did take the excessive heat warning seriously. I did something that is not one of my favorite things to do: I carried a small water bottle. My saving grace last night was chugging as much water as humanly possible. I'm trying to do the same tonight. I hardly touched the bottle, I drank about two ounces of water. My other decision was to stay exclusively on the trail rather than coming off for my addition. I got about 7 miles in total, perfectly fine considering the conditions.
After my run I headed over to the gym and rode the bike for an hour. Somebody left a Runner's World from last summer there, so I read that. I can read them over again if they are old enough. After riding I lifted. By the time I started to lift it was nearly lunch time, so I kind of scrimped. I actually had some motivation to lift, but hunger was more of a concern.
Hope that everyone is staying cool and drinking lots of water!
