What a difference a week makes!
Last weekend WS and I ran at 7am. It was already blazingly hot and we had worked up a sweat just standing outside!
Today, we started our run at 6:30am. For those of you who don't know me, I am not a morning person. In order for me to be ready to run at 6:30, I need to get up at 5:15 so that I have enough time to eat my peanut butter toast and have coffee and more importantly to DIGEST said pb toast and coffee. 5:15! AM!
I was in a deep, almost comatose sleep when my blaring alarm terrifyingly woke me up (I use the tone on the iPhone that sounds like an air raid signal, you know the one I am talking about)! After my heart rate returned to normal, I checked the weather channel app (yes, I know last post I said I didn't believe them anymore, but I have nothing else to go by) to see if would even need a shirt or if I could just run in my jog bra. Imagine my shock when I saw that the temperature was only 51 degrees!! This is HALF the temperature that we have seen in the previous weeks! For a brief moment, I actually contemplated wearing my running capris, but then I settled on shorts and a LONG SLEEVED running shirt.
We have started increasing mileage, so today was a 12 mile run. What a fantastic run! My legs haven't felt this strong in a long time. It is SOOOOO much easier to run in cool weather. Unfortunately, I don't hold out much hope that it will be cool on marathon day...but hey, I can hope!
And now, it is time for a NAP!!!!!
