So, I waited until 9:30pm to run. Me and Joe hit the road for our 5 minute warm up. Only, apparently I didn't hit start on the start button on the silly app. So, about 4 minutes in, I looked and noticed I hadn't really started. So far, I am rather disappointed in the app, and really like the podcast. Anyway... you can't fast forward it, so I walked another 5 minutes.
When it was time to run...my legs were like logs....ridiculously heavy. It was like I couldn't lift them...so, my jog was more of a heavy shuffle/walk. I made it through the first four rounds of 60 sec runs...then I started not being able to complete the full 60 seconds.
By the 6th round...I was so hot...and Joey was still hanging in there with me...we paused so he could sniff for a moment. That was the point when I realized that it was too hot for both of us. The only breeze had been the air passing us as we were moving. Now that we were stopped...no air moved. That's when I noticed my face was actually burning. So, Joe and I decided to walk the rest of the way home. It was 91 degrees. Too frickin hot for 9:30pm.
Also, while I was running, I got my first side stitch. Or at least my first as an adult. I had probably eaten a little more and a little later than I had planned, so my belly was not FULL but more on the fuller side than the empty side. I figure that contributed, but I was still cramping too. I also blame the leg heavy-ness on my cycle.
We made it home...I hosed both me and Joe off. Then Joe was both hot and pissed. Poor dog. I do feel dumping some water on him was a good thing to help him cool down a bit. Neither of us moved for a while after drinking some water and collapsing in the living room.
I am sooooooo hoping for a better day 3 on Thursday. And a break in the heat would be real nice too.
