Saturday 14.00/2:13:55/9:34 average pace
This was by far the hottest weekend of the year, with high temps at my house reaching 110 on Saturday and 112 on Sunday. Very hot. So, I did a few things to survive my scheduled long run. First, I got up pretty early and was running by about 7:30 am. Second, I drove about 25 miles to a creekside trail near the bay, where temperatures were 10 degrees cooler than at home throughout the day and there is some shade. Third, I brought my water bottle and refilled it 3 times. And fouth, I kept my pace slow and walked when I needed to. Amazingly, all these things resulted in a pretty good run! It was certainly warm (76 at the start and 88 at the end) but I felt fine the whole time. I rehydrated and refueled immediately after and then rested all day. I am feeling great today (Monday) so I think I did well with the post-run routine. :)
TOTAL miles for the week: 40 !! :)
