Stopped at 3 today

[The Ramzev]

I went out for what was going to be a 6 miler this afternoon and I guess a combination of the heat and work stuff in my head my form was a little off. after about 3 miles I had a hot spot on the end of my "pointer toe". I changed course and headed home and I have a nice blood blister to show for it.

Lesson learned: when it's hot and you're not going to be able to focus on form, postpone the run until you have had beer.

I was hoping for 4, got 2.5 miles run. It was humid and still and I was underhydrated. Then my left knee (IT Band) started paining. I need beer too.

Did better than me, I was going to run this morning but decided not to. Ended up running a couple of miles on the TM at lunch.

I had three blisters from running on the TM in VFFs after giving up on the track in the heat. BLEH! Today was cross training in the oven we usually call the garage.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do when temps rise and I'm no longer certain if I can finish my scheduled routes or not.

During summer, I run in the early morning or late afternoon to keep from getting my feet scorched from the asphalt. During winter, I run in the middle of the day to keep from getting my feet frozen from the asphalt.

I started my run at 7 pm and it was 88 degrees 70% humidity. Goal was 10 miles, but only completed 6. I had a fuel belt with 6 water bottles and I used them all up, also the heat zapped THE ENERGY FROM MY LEGS!

We actually have a local race this weekend that starts at 7pm. It is expensive, but you get a full dinner afterwards. I keep thinking, hmmmm, run an 8k race at 7pm in high heat and humidity, and then eat fried fish? NOT!

This is certainly the thince thing about living in Norway. A day that reaches 25 C is considered HOT.



Trying not to think about winter.
