With the storm that came through this mornng, and after a couple of phone calls, Kathy and I decided to meet at 8:00 on the trail to let the storm pass on by... I started out at 7:00 to do 4+ miles, meet Kathy on the trail for 6.5, then 'Tag you're it" Kevin and Kaiden met me at 9:00 to do the final 6.5 miles... It actually worked out fine and it's nice to know you have people who care if you're safe out there on the roads! Thanks guys!
Kathy and I could not believe how muggy it was... first really hot run of the season (for me anyway!) and I really hope it's the last! We trugged along and we did pretty decent! Kathy kept thinking she was slowing me down but Uh Uh, we were going at a good pace! We had to stop a couple of times for water to stay hydrated.. We got done and I still had 6.5 miles to go to get to 17... Next up, Kevin and KMan on his bike..
I stayed at the same pace Kathy and I did for a while but by the end I was starting to slow up.. way up.. Did the last mile at a 11:07 pace... and had a to stop a few times along the 6.5 miles..
That was a little frustrating! I guess it just shows what humidity does to me.. And oh yeah, ran out of accelerade 2 miles out and Kevin ran out of his H2O.. NOT a good thing... went straight up to the gas station for gaterade after we got done... AND I forgot to take my 2nd GU!! WTH??!!
Realized it somewhere in mile 15 so I took it but it was too late... How could I forgot that?? I haven't a clue!! All in all a 10:30 pace on hot day like this is alright, but it's sure not on race pace.. I can only hope for nice cool 50 degree weather like last year.. Please??

The neighbors took the kids swimming today so Mom got a nap in this afternoon! That is always nice...especially considering we are going out tonight with friends.. wouldn't want to fall asleep at 9:00!!!

I can't believe you ran 17 miles! That is fantastic. I think it's equally cool that Kevin, who really doesn't run more than a 5K, came out to make sure you were safe! go kevin! And kaiden on his bike??? OMG, send a picture!
I'm so proud of you...
yes, the humidity does me in too! It's intense on your lungs for sure! I'm so proud of you..you go girlie!!
Thanks!!
I was dying from the humidity!! I never realized just how much it affects you until I ran Saturday!!
Boulder runners have nice dry heat.. lucky!! Of course the altitude makes up for that!!
