Running in an Oven

This evening I headed out for the run I mentioned earlier in the day. It was 100 degrees, give or take a few degrees as I headed on to the Monon. The plan was short and slow.

As I trotted along, boys from a high school cross country team went whizzing by me. I mentally cursed them and kept plodding along. Bikers passed me, lots of them. Still I went along.

For the goal of going slow, my first mile was 13:32. Not as slow as I wanted, but I felt ok, but man was it hot.  I got to the Monon Center, went in to refill my water bottle, then I headed back to the car.

The goal was 3 miles tonight. In the end I did 2.13, it was just too darned hot.

Stay cool fellow runners.
