Got up at 4:30 for my 16 miler. I didn’t fiddle around! I ate a slice of toast and drank 1 cup of coffee and hit the road.

It was super pretty this morning!!! It was already 73* 95% humidity when I started.

The first 6 miles were easy peasy. No problems at all. Then I did something dumb. I headed away from my “shady” route and went somewhere that was direct sunshine for 7 miles. It did me in.

I managed to squeak out the HM distance but I overheated. By now it was 85* w/same humidity and it was just too much. I think if I had stayed with my “shady” route, there wouldn’t have been a problem *kicks self around block*

I did stop by the house at mile 3 for the bug spray. The biting flies thought I made a great chew toy this morning. The end of that run, I was basically staggering the last mile. I’m glad no-body saw me, they might have called 911! I looked pretty bad. HA!.

Showered, ate lunch then started freezing!!! I was wearing a heavy jacket in the house. Called it a day and took a nap buried in blankets. When I crash, I crash! HA!!! Anyway, that’s my sad story about today’s run. Hope everybody else’s went better!
