tired Way too hot and humid to run - what was I thinking? 5.03 mi 00:54 10:42 pace

Well, I got part of my 7 miles in, but I really thought I was going to die. I probably walked 4 times more than I usually do on my runs. A few times I almost called my son to come and get me. It was 79 degrees, 50% humidity with a dew point of 58. That's just a little much to start off with. It's supposed to cloud up and cool off later and I could see the clouds coming in as I ran. Maybe, just maybe I'll get my third run in later tonight about 10 but if not, I'll run it tomorrow morning.

Splits: 11:18; 10:29; 9:47; 11:28; 10:35

I am sitting here with a bag of ice on my head - no kidding. hahaha! It's helping, but I need a cold bath, I think.

    Oh, my. I would find 79 and 50% very tough conditions, and I know I do much better in the heat than you do. No wonder it was tough for you! Good job on the 5.

    Thanks, Sheila. I need to get used to the heat because of Ragnar next month, plus I'm doing a marathon in Australia in November, which is their summer.
