Running in the heat



I attempted to run 4 miles, for the first time in months, on Sun during the epic 90+ degree weather. It was a disaster. We meant to get up earlier but that didnt happen as we both wanted/needed some sleep. By the time we got out the door at 1045 or so it didnt seem so bad, as long as we were running in the shade. In reality the first 3 miles werent that horrible. As soon as I got to the last mile it became dreadful though. It was just too hot and there was no shade. I gave up and made Mike run home by himself. I proceeded to walk and then ran the last part of the way home. Who knows if I actually ran the 4 miles I was supposed to run or not. Either way it was a fiasco and I always know I should only run early in the morning, but I thought it would be okay. I was very wrong.
