Summer Runnin'

With apologies to Grease the musical -

Summer runnin' had me a blast.
Summer runnin' happened so fast.
I ran in Brooks, crazy for them.
I went out, ran some miles.
Well-o well-o UH....tell me more, tell me more, did ya get very far. Tell me more, tell me more, like did you out run a car.


LOL....yesterday's run was an 87 degree scorcher. I was determined though to get my third run of the week in. I did the 3.8 mile loop around Andersonville. I was slathered in sunscreen and had a bottle of Nuun. I was ready.

The run was a good one. I thought I would really fatigue, but perhaps the 3.8 miles was the right length for the heat. I suspect had I pushed the miles it would have been a different story. I did run out of Nuun and quickly bought some Gatorade. That got me through the rest of the run.

All in all I was happy. I ran 45:55 which is a touch over a 12:00/mile. I was thirsty for a long while after the run, but I expected that.

Looking to up the miles this week.
