Mistaken II

OK, I guess I really don't know what I am talking about sometimes! So, the other day I wrote about how nice it was to finally have the heat here and run in it. Well, that was nothing! Yesterday the mercury hit 96 and when we ran 3.1 miles it was still 95! That was hot, for real this time!

When we arrived at the trail we were to run on, we were pleasantly surprised to find a nice breeze in the air. We thought, "This won't be so bad with this nice breeze!" And we were right. The unfortunate happening is that about a quarter way through our run, the lovely breeze stopped. Not good. My body became so fatigued that I needed to take more walk breaks than usual. It was difficult, I do not know if I have ever sweat that much in my life! (Interesting little fact though is that even though we walked more than normal, we made the same time...guess we must have run faster when we ran. Go figure!)

At the end of the run I felt weak, tired, VERY hungry, thirsty, and also very happy! We did it! We went the distance in the heat, we accomplished what we set out to do, that feels good.

I think I am actually really starting to love my new running lifestyle, feels good. =)
