Wow Warm

Wow, has the weather ever been amazing, it's great for all you out there that are training for the Fire Fighters 10 Mile Road Race here in Thunder Bay.  I on the other hand have confirmed my decision that it was a great idea for me to not train again after training for my Marathon.
The weather has been outrageously HOTT for me, I know be quiet, quite complaining, winter is over but for some like me that is not good running weather.
I knew as soon as I ran for 1 mile that it was HOTT out, I took a pic of myself before I left, thrilled that I was in my tank and skirt.

I left my house at 4:30pm and it was the prime time for the hottest temperature of the day,       + 17 Celsius, yes I said 17 in March.
I ran for 2 miles and felt like I was melting into the sidewalk. 
The sun was blazing and I was feeling it, I do not handle the heat and I know it is never good to go out in the late afternoon when the sun is at it`s peak (but I also tried new things on race day, so what do I know).
As a result this is what I looked like when I finally returned home, I`m sure cars going by were concerned I that I was not going to make it.
My face is always so red it is purple when I have ran in the heat. I always quickly recover once I am finished running, but while I am in it I sweat for every mile. 
Happy Running, for those that love the heat, I`m happy for you.

  1. Yikes!! if that were not your normal colour when u run in the heat, I'd be calling 911. You'll be getting up early to run, or after the sun goes down now, cheers as that's about the time I go out too, not to run however, that dirt is calling me to go and start poking around in it!!

  2. You know you are a night shift person. We cannot handle the light of day. Guess you will be running very early dawn or to work at midnight. Loved the before and after pics. I still wore long sleeves and capris that day.
