i did go for my run today, first day in over a week. i got up a little late. i left the house around 10:30am, the thermometer said 87. i ran for a little while, the sun felt like it was shining right through me. finally at mile 8 i decided i better not try to push it too much and decided stop running. so i walked another 1.5 miles and started running again. i ran for another mile and walked the last 1/2 mile. when i got to the house the thermometer said 99. i know it didn't get that hot, but i think that is what it felt like in the direct sun , that is what it felt like to me anyway. so i'll do a little light running this week and leave for montana in 8 days. after that i will get back on schedule and be right on track for the marathon (hopefully it will be much cooler for running when i get back).
the thought i had today came to me as i was running and i was getting scorched by the sun. occasionally the sun would go behind a cloud and i would feel so much better while i was running. then the sun would come back out and it would be hard running once again. so my thought is this: not every cloud brings rain, some bring shade, and just because the sun is shining on you that isn't always a good thing. ok that was lame, it sounded a little better when i was just thinking it and hadn't written it down. i guess the point i was trying to make was this, things that seem like they are bad can work out for the good and vice versa. so always look for the positive side of things and don't get too comfortable when it seems like everything is going great and nothing can go wrong.
