October Heat

The 10 mile yesterday may have been one of the hardest races I’ve run. I know I’m in shape and able to run 10 miles, but I didn’t expect to run it in around 80% humidity and 72 degree heat. At 7:10 in the morning even. I ran it in 1:31:17, several minutes off what I’d hoped for. Two miles in, if not earlier, I adjusted my expectations. I’m not good at running in the heat and when I was already dripping in sweat and feeling like a bit wobbly at 5 miles, I knew the challenge was to finish standing instead of finish with a personal record. Knowing the physical and mental challenge the weather presented yesterday, I feel it was an accomplishment and am ok with my time.
