Les Grove Park. Only worked 1/2 day so decided to go for a mid day run. I would have ran in the morning but I had to start work at 6:45 a.m. Unfortunetly, I chose a day that hit a high of 94 degrees. Ran at 12:30 p.m. Tons of kids at the park going through the mini water park and play set!!! I've never seen so many people around in such a small proximity!!! It was hard to run because kids kept getting in my way. It started out fine but I got really hot fast. I think I was crazy to be running at this time of the day! My goal was to be 5 miles but I coudn't handle it with the heat. I just did 4 instead. Felt okay but very hot and dehydrated.

TT: 35:37 min Avg: 8:54 min Max: 6:30 min

Miles: 8:42, 8:51, 8:59, 9:02 (As you can see, I gradually got slower because it was SO hot and humid)

Way to get the run in despite the heat! I can't believe you went running in the middle of the day. I went at 6:30 last night and I still wanted to die! Its waaaay too hot for running! I'm already dreading how I'm going to do a long run this weekend.

Thanks! I know, I am dreading it too. I plan to run early before it gets hot. I tell you Nicole that is the way to do it in this heat! Do you wanna run early Sun together?
