Damn Hot 8 miles

Man, it was hot outside today for the run. I banged out an 8 miler and it was brutal. The heat in the woods was oppressive and the sweat just poured.

It's done.

The plan I'm following has the idea of distance sandwiches. Two consecutive days of high mileage with rest days on either side. On paper, it's not that bad. At my age, it's pretty bad. My legs were stiff for the first couple of miles and then I finally got a little loose as the run dragged on. Middle distances during the week (6-9 miles)

I can't wait unitl late October when I do a 31 miler followed by a 15 miler. That'll be fun.

Not.
