Long and Hot

It was a rare occasion today that I did not have to pick up the kids so I decided to do the 12 mile long run that I ran every Wednesday last winter. Problem is it was 92 degrees instead of 72 degrees. I knew I would be a little short on energy but the heat was just brutal. I carried a bottle and drank a lot taking a break every 10 to 15 minutes running easy too but about 15 minutes from the end I cracked bad. I was really tired and just barely moving.

After all was said and done I made it and it was a good run but I will have to do that run in th Am for now on if it is this hot or else cowboy up to the heat

Later on in the evening I got a few muscle cramps that were fun too. Ah the joy of distance running
