I am ready for it to cool off. I decided to do my long weekend run today while the boys were in school rather than take up a large portion of our Sunday (especially because Brian also has to do a long run that day for his half-marathon training). But that meant I was running during the middle of the day and it got into the mid-80s today. I ran with a water belt (so cool :) ) but ran out of water way quicker than I normally do. I suffered the second half of my run and walked quite a bit. But I finished, even if it was slowly. When I got home, I weighed myself and I was 5 lbs lighter than in the morning! No wonder I felt so horrible - I was REALLY dehydrated. It may not have helped that I ran 12 miles on Sunday, 4 miles on Monday, and 9 miles on Tuesday. But I did it!
I have a half-marathon race next weekend and a 20 mile run the following weekend. Then it's just tapering off until the marathon. Almost there!
