  1. RUN
    alright Neighborhood/Downtown 3 mi 00:38 12:34 pace

    A 6am run to beat the heat but I was still dripping with sweat by the end. My legs felt like lead. Wanted to do 3.5/4 miles but stopped at 3. Just one of those days! ... read more

      I think this warm weather is here to stay and it will undoubtably get worse...great job! I guess we will all have to get readjusted to these temps!

      nice! I've got to start transitioning to morning also! I've tried a few times, but I end up turning off the alarm, and running in the afternoon. Won't be able to do that much longer!

      Thats a crappy feeling, but believe me, all runners have been there occasionally. The important thing is to run consistently and the speed will increase gradually on its own

      And if the group run makes you feel that bad, if it were me, I would lay off the group run until you get a little bit faster, or find your own group that runs about the same speed. But that's just me, and I am am also an introvert

      Thanks, Randy. Usually the group runs don't bother me too much since I'm used to running them alone. And if given the choice, I would much rather run alone than feel like I'm keeping someone back. I think just seeing the reality of a "slow" runner being much faster than me just sucked. I'm thinking that if they continue to meet at 6pm for these group runs I will definitely have to take the summer off or commit to regular walk breaks. I just can't deal with the heat!
