We were having a nice spring. It was fairly mild. Actually most days were below normal temps. Then global warming reared its ugly head. We've been hovering around 100 degrees for days now, and weather reports say the heat will last for at least a couple of weeks, although probably not around the 100 range, but definitely above normal highs.
This is greatly impacting my running. I'm glad I'm not officially training for anything, but I will be starting at the end of June, and July/August is only going to get worse.
Today's weather monkey wrench caused me to cut my 6.5 mile run to 5.5 miles with a bit of walking on the sunny hill parts. And I was a very slow 11:22 pace.
I can't fully blame this on the heat, though. I donated blood on Thursday, so my body is not at 100% yet. I feel like I get dehydrated faster. Tonight is not going to help, as we're having friends over for margherita's and mudslides, but we all have to sacrifice a little ;)
