I knew I was in trouble when, as I was sipping my coffee and syncing my music, I noticed that the outside temp on my iPhone read 74 degrees. Two minutes later, it had crept up to 78 degrees. Oh boy…it’s going to be HOT!
I left for my run late this morning. Late as in 8:00 a.m., and for Alabama weather, that’s LATE! My target was 4 miles today, but after 2 I knew it would be smart to head back home and make the miles up tomorrow. I was sweating profusely and started to feel a slight throbbing at my temples. It’s better to be safe than…PASS OUT! At any rate, I got a little of it done and I’m in one piece. Remember what I said about slow and deliberate? Well, that’s what I’m concentrating on right now more than a distance, timing or anything else. It’s far more important for me to be safe and solid than fast and furious. All of that will come later. Besides, remember it was the tortoise who won the race.
Whatever you do today, try to get in a little exercise if you can. But, if you live here in Alabama, it’s too late to go outside, so don’t try that. It’s only 9:30 a.m. and the temp is already at a whopping 83 degrees!!
Be safe, be strong, be you. Have a wonderful day!
