10.2 miles: Highway to hell

Today I went 10.2 miles without dying (about 2.4 liters of water). It was 97 degrees and sunny at the end of the run. The road I have to take to go on any run has been repaved. So now it smells like fresh asphalt, the side of the road is worse and the darker asphalt soaks up more of the heat. It's the least fun part of each run.

around 10.5 miles

Today I ran about 10.5 miles. I ran to the park and then did three loops. It was 91 and humid at the end of the run. I took in about 2 liters of water. I forgot to start the mapping app. A lack of sleep did not help.

10.2 miles: Baked runner and checkup

Today I ran 10.2 miles. It was 95 and sunny at the end of the run. The first 6 miles went rather well and I thought I had developed some sort of super hero immunity to the heat. However, it caught up with me during the last 4 miles and the last 2 were rather sad. Anyway, a decent run overall (about 2.5 liters of water, 3 endurolytes) .

Yesterday I had a physical (last one was about 2 years ago). My doctor was really happy with all my stats (e.g., heart rate and blood pressure). My heart rate was 60. I'm not sure what the numbers were on the blood pressure. Blood work pending as a routine check. So I guess the running is paying off.

5 miles (Sunday night)

I ran 5 miles to downtown and back Sunday night. I did a mix of jogging, "sprints", and some walking in between. I forgot to record the temperature. The sun was down but it was still very warm.

7.6 miles

(Downtown Franklin: closed to cars)

Today I ran 7.6 miles. It was 82 with 67% humidity at the end of the run (2.4 liters of water, 2 endurolytes). Last Saturday was my worst run in years; this run was my best of the month. I felt good (considering) and pushed it at the end.

11.6 miles: Still hot

I ran about 11.6 miles today (about 3 liters of water and 5 endurolytes). It was sunny, 91 degrees and 54% humidity at the end of the run. It was overcast at times during the run which did help - but it's still hot. Dreaming of the cold. A decent run for the conditions.

8.2 Miles: Heat Advisory

Well today there was a heat advisory today and I felt the reason behind it during the run. It was 93%, sunny and humid. It was hot. Longer runs will have to wait. It's too hot. Given the conditions it was a decent run.
