This has been one hot week of running. To beat the heat, I ran at 8:30pm on Monday and 8pm on Tuesday. Both nights were still pretty warm, but not nearly as hot as my Wednesday run.
Wednesday was hot as can be. Owen had the day off so he went out to play golf early in the morning and I was home with the boys. We had plans with friends at 4, for a BBQ and to watch the 4th of July fireworks, so when he got home at 2, I quickly got it together and went out for a run.
I had some grand plans to run 7.4 miles. You know, in honor of the day. But, yeah. That didn't happen.
Instead, I ran a nice-and-easy 4. And dripped with sweat the entire time.
Now, after all of these hot runs, I hope that we can enjoy some cooler temps on race day (Sunday!). As much as I can handle the heat, racing is just better when it is cooler.
Speaking of the Boilermaker race, I'm finalizing my race day plan and will share it tomorrow. So, until then, enjoy the day -- thanks for stopping by!

It has been soooo hot! I was dripping yesterday on my run too! Definitely need to drink more water. Good luck this weekend in the race!
It has been SOOOO brutally hot! Be careful and good for you for getting out there!
Wednesday was excruciating here too. I ran at lunch and barely managed 4 sweat-soaked miles. And more of the same today. Stay cool!
