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.
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!!
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
