What the F…

arenheit was going on with the weather; 98f on the beach at 4pm! Still reeling from the weekend I skipped yesterday’s run and had a double header spinning 13 miles on the trainer at 4:30am this morning and then running off yesterday’s 7 miles this afternoon.

Not the best of runs, head wasn’t in it and my body was in shock but I plugged through the heat and slalomed around the weirdoes of Venice beach to finish with a surprisingly decent time of 58:01, that’s only 30 seconds off my 10k race pace (which I feel is my worst PR) but even so not bad all things considered. I managed to pull it together for the last mile at least!


So some foam roller action tonight and a quick repack of the bag ready for tomorrow’s 8 miler. Hey it’s nearly Wednesday!

  10. @ burger: Where is fall? It's here in Michigan and 45 degrees in the morning. Looks like another year of raking leaves in a winter coat.

    98 degrees? Ugh.
