I finally started a running blog.

Saturday broke the record high by something like 6 degrees.  My big mistake was thinking that a mid-day run was going to be easy.  For the record, 2 loops in wash park is not a 10 mile run…

So the lesson learned (isn’t there always a lesson when you’re training?) is that I need to be aware of the weather once again —- winter training, while sometimes annoying, is usually easy enough because you can always wear more layers and stay warm (as long as it’s not wayyy below freezing - I think 15-20 degrees is my lower limit).  But spring and summer is harder, because my ideal running temp is about 55 degrees… and that often means early morning running to avoid the heat.

While I LOVE the lack of humidity in Denver (it makes summer running a lot less sweaty and gross - and makes it easier to stay hydrated also), I definitely need to transition to my summer running mentality — and remind myself that there’s a reason to get up and meet running club at 7:30am on a Saturday morning…..
