1 Day Since My Last Run

●

I had to go for another hot run today because I was wayyyyyyy too tired at dawn when the temperature was more appropriate and suitable for running. What I didn't do was waver. Nope, no wavering, I got right out there. I was actually kind of excited. The temperature today isn't as high as yesterday but still dang freakin' hot. It was not pleasant out there by any means. The sweat poured down even though my pace was slow. The sun blared down, completely heating me up whilst sucking the energy from me. Diligently I paid attention to every note of music that was playing in my ears. I gave half my attention to my body to make sure everything was working fine (something I generally always do but maybe not as much as today) and half my attention to the tunes to take my mind off the heat and the run. It was a constant battle to keep my pace and not stop and begin my walk back to my ice water. Twelve minutes in this heat is like a half hour when the temperature is nice and moderate. Maybe twelve minutes in this is even more work.

I'm not sure if I'll get to my goal of making June better than May, but I'm gonna do what I can to get exercise in.
