Day 31 - Hot stuff!
Have you ever ran in a sauna? Well, that's what if felt like running this morning! During the first half of my run it wasn't that bad. I did find it a bit hard to breath as the air was very thick and warm. But as the run went on, it was almost unbearable. By the time I got home it was 27 degrees outside and all I could do was make it inside as fast as I could to drink a glass of water. I couldn't even do my stretching right after my run, I was drenched with sweat and needed a shower ASAP.
Today's Stats: 4 miles, 6.44km in 40:32, avg pace of 6:18/km burned 556 cal, over all a good run but way way to hot. I'm going to have to start running at 6am to avoid this hot weather. I guess that means earlier bed time for me. I should probably drink an extra glass of water too before leaving for my run. I'm not bringing water with me at the moment as I'm only running short distances but once I get up near the 12 mile mark I'll carry water with me. Goal is to wake up early tomorrow to get my run in before is get's to hot!

Laura, you've inspired me. I've been slacking off on the excercise lately and after reading your blog I decided it's time to get to it. I did a very short run yesterday and today to get me legs going. I'm just happy I started. Keep up the excellent challenge! Leslie
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, I rest my Case!!! Running in the heat is a whole new Ball of Wax, don't you think? But you can do it and should do it at least once or twice a week until you can say, you know that wasn't so bad was it???
ReplyDeleteJust image, at 8:30 a.m. I run Leg# 2 @ The Cabot Trail. It has a huge hill half a mile into the race. Now if I didn't practise in the heat I probably would not be able to complete the 17.9 km. course with all these hills. So you can see if you are trained properly it also gives you the confidence to know that you just finished a run @ 30 degrees C. So this race at 20 degrees C shouldn't be a problem.
Again, Laura, with the heat in Ottawa, I think you will need to start to carry your water bottle @ about the 8 mile distance.
Your doing awesome, Laura, keep up the great effort. By the way, I didn't know that your race was the same time I will be running my two Legs @ The Cabot Trail. I am doing 2 and 11. Good luck and we wll compare notes on Monday. Cheers, Dad
