3 Miles at 93 Degrees


After biting the bullet and signing up for the 2011 Wine and Dine Half Marathon in October, I decided to start the training again. Some days, it's just so hot in central Florida to run during the day. I can't wait until night because I've been working 5 A.M. shifts, so I basically go to bed by 8 or 9 P.M. Lame. I seriously feel old some days because of my bedtime schedule.

Yesterday, I ran approximately 3.0 miles in the scorching 93 degree heat. The pace was around 14 mph, which was completely fine considering the heat. It felt like 9
miles. I'm hydrating and ready for a 3.5 mile run tomorrow in the even more scorching heat.

Maybe I can brave the treadmill because any more than 5 miles in that heat will most certainly be death for me.




I'll keep my eye on the prize!
