This weekend was another set of hydration reminder runs. Even when I think I’m good to go…I should drink more water. The first run was six miles on Friday. The second was six miles on Saturday and the third was six miles on Sunday, plus a ten mile bike ride.
I thought for the Friday run that I had rehydrated myself from the “stupid hot” PT session the day before…turns out, not so much. Here are the stats for that one:
Distance: 6 miles (1-6)
Total time: 1 hour, 23 minutes
Average pace: 13:45
Best pace: 10:26
Weather: 77* with 90% humidity (feels like 77*) at 0530
Song o' the run: The Pretender (Foo Fighters)
Saturday felt much better—I hydrated like crazy the night before so here are the stats on that one:
Distance: 6 miles (7-12)
Total time: 1 hour, 18 minutes
Average pace: 13:01
Best pace: 10:20
Weather: 74* with 96% humidity (feels like 75*) at 0600
Song o' the run: No song, ran with a friend
And Sunday morning I did a bit of a “brick” workout. I ran four miles then later rode my bike for ten and a half miles and then ran two more miles. More like walked the last two—it was damned hot and I’m not used to running that late in the day (around 1130); I normally prefer to be done before 0800.
Distance: 4 miles (12-16)
Total time: 53 minutes
Average pace: 13:23
Best pace: (Garmin malfunctioned on that one)
Weather: 77* with 90% humidity (feels like 76*) at 0630
Song o' the run: Fuel (Metallica)
Distance: 2 miles (17-18)
Total time: 27 minutes
Average pace: Slow
Best pace: There wasn’t one
Weather: Bloody hot—I was afraid to look.
Song o’ the run: No song, ran with a friend
Even though this whole weekend seemed to be my reminder on running/working-out in hot temps, it did make me realize that I needed to start adding in my cycling. I think it’ll give me a bit better run time, even if it’s just minimally better. I’m thinking maybe I should start looking into a swim coach too…hmmmm…that could add a whole new dimension to things…
I'm at $275 for my contributions! I know it's a long way out but if you have a couple of dollars to give, I know the EOD MasterBlasters would appreciate your efforts to help their cause..and so would I! Please donate! =^)
