Decisions - sleep or heat?

Well I'm off work today and normally I take off Monday and rest but I figured why not go for a run.  I could still sleep in and still get out there.  I ended up starting at 8:30am which does not sound so bad except that it was almost 80 degrees when I finished.

I had planned on six miles today but a couple miles into my run I looked at my running schedule.  No, I don't carry it with me!  Haha!  It's on my phone.  It said I had seven miles to do.  I can tell you it's quite demotivating when you have run only a couple miles and know you have to add another mile in this heat.

So......in the end.....I did what had to be done and got through it.  No other choice really.  I'm still trying to decide whether or not its easier to get up and run at 5am or run through the heat.  Not that it's much cooler at 5am but at least the sun is not beating on you yet.  Plus I don't really have the luxury of running later anyway.

I think I'll stick with 5am.

After my run - a sweaty mess.

Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
