I'm sorry to report that nothing truly interesting has happened over the past two days of training. Wednesday's run was five miles. It was a tad cooler that morning, but the humidity was off the charts! Today was an easy four mile run. It was a little warmer today, but the humidity was still incredibly high. In fact, the humidity is still so bad around here, that I was just outside and could actually see the haze in the air - at 9:15 at night!
Uhg, I sure hope this breaks soon. It would be nice to actually stay cool on a run and not finish with a layer of sweat coating me. I think I'll suggest putting squeegees out with our water stops!
Next week the fun begins. Speed work! I really don't look forward to speed runs - nothing like going all out for a pre-determined distance. (For those who don't know why speed work is important, it teaches the body to deal with the stress of running a long distance. The more uncomfortable I can make myself in a controlled way, the better my body will respond to being uncomfortable during a long race. At least that's the theory behind it...) I am nervous because speed work is where injuries can develop. So it will be very important to do it correctly and listen to what my body is telling me during those runs.
Hopefully the blog will be a little more entertaining next week. Then again, a boring blog means I'm doing everything right and not getting hurt!
