The white turtle, that's me! Pale as a ghost and slow as molasses. At least that's how I felt most of this week. It was dang hot, and running in the morning didn't always work out (rain, sore muscles, the call of the cold pillow), so we did a lot of sunset running. We don't mind this so much except that it seems to mess up our sleep patterns; we wake up a lot in the night when we run so close to bedtime. Not so much an issue for me since I can catch a nap if I need to, but poor Chris has to get to work whether he feels rested or not.
Weekly stats:
Tue 7/3 3.01 miles in 29:56 (our only morning run, out at 630)
Wed 7/4 3.01 miles in 30:33
Thu 7/5 3.05 in 31:00
Sun 7/8 7.03 miles in 1:19:17 (or 79:17---even though we went out at 745pm, it was still around 85 degrees, though less humid than it had been. We also ran on local trails to take advantage of the shade.)
Total: 16.1 miles
Thanks for reading!
Don't blow up in this heat!
