Today was the first day I've run over 100 degrees this year - I think. It was 101 with heat index of 108. Not really that different from running when it's 97 and feels like temp of 107. The breeze out of the south felt good, at times, and at other times felt like a blast furnace. Like when I ran across the bridge in the last mile. Anyway, I ran 4 miles and modified my walking routine by adding a half-minute to the normal walk at each mile marker. By the time I got to mile three and walked 3 1/2 minutes it seemed like a lot of walking. But by that point I needed it. I watched my heart rate and it maxed out at about 150, sliding back nicely to 130 or less when I walked. I figure that's probably a good indicator to watch when it's so hot.
