Today sucked.

I waited too late in the morning to run - 10am. It was too hot, too humid, and I got overheated. I ran about 2 miles and walked 3. I tried to push through, but it was brutal...and once I got light-headed and the chills hit me, I knew I had hit my limit for the day. I was zapped for the rest of the day and just felt "off" for a while. Oh well, I have learned to over-hydrate and run early! So, I guess I will look at today as "climate conditioning" for the upcoming weeks.

Here is the route that kicked my ass: Sunday 7/26
