Lesson Learned

Well yesterday I decided I was going to go for a run. I set out to do 4 miles, which I have usually been doing 2-3. For a "long weekend run." Well I started out around 445. I headed out of the neighborhood and started running off the access of I35. At almost 2 miles, the heat and sun were really taking everything out of me. I think it was 100 degrees when I was out there. I was thinking I should drank more water a lot more water before the run. I had to do a big hill and ran up and back down to finish the last 2 miles. At 3 miles my mouth got really dry and I felt extremely spent. I walked for a second and then got motivated of thinking I can get water when I get home. I got home and did some research on the comuter and realized I probably had the beginning of heat exhaustion. LOL Im glad I made it home, yet learned I need to be very careful and be prepared when running in this crazy hot weather. But it feels good that I finished it.
Im glad you all are training great. I have been thinking of what would be good to train for. I love running I guess Im just discouraged by 26 miles lately. I love training for something though. I dont know I may be just having a moment.

Love you both,
Melinda
