piping HOT running

i would think how Niagara's mist felt as i ran in the heat!
last weeks running was flat out piping HOT!

tuesday was a hilly 8 miler. i drank 50oz just to stay hydrated.
wednesday was another hot hilly 6.5 mile run. found a sprinkler to run through! :)
friday was my long run since we had a busy weekend. i started running at 6:30am in some light rain. it was like that for most of the run - 100% humidity but at least in the upper 70's. i ran 13 miles 7 minutes slower than last weekends 14 miler. oh well...
today i ran a tempo 4 miler and felt like i had not run in 4 months. it was h.a.r.d. but that's what makes it all worth it. this is another busy week so i may try two-a-days. not sure if it's a good idea but i'll give it a shot and see how it goes. i just wish my summer would slow down...

I feel your pain. We're under a heat advisory for the whole week. It's been miserable running in it.

Great job still getting in your miles!

We may be a bit slower than we'd like in the heat, but we're getting our runs done. Yay for getting out early and running 13 miles!

Sprinklers are the best on a hot run!
