Whew, what a day yesterday was. The wife practiced for her triathlon in the morning, and by the time we returned home it was warming up quite nicely. I determined that it wasn't going to get any cooler, so I headed out for a 7-mile run. By the time I got home the temperature was 91 with a heat index of 102. Ouch! And it kicked my tail, too. I finished a very tough 5.5 mile run with a lot of walking and stops in what little shade I could find. Later in the afternoon the heat index rose to 113.
Our neighborhood and surrounding areas are so new that trees are scarce. And what trees you can find are new and don't provide much shade. My iced-down Gatorade bottle ran out before I was finished. Next time I need to load up the bottles on the belt the wife gave me for my birthday so that I have enough.
At least I was entertained by Dave Ramsey on the run. Not as motivating as a power trio, but definitely a different kind of motivation. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter than yesterday, so Monday's easy run will no doubt take place much later in the day.
