I know it is summer and the weather is supposed to be warm--but this heat/humidity seems excessive here in the NE. It does not matter whether it is early, evening, or night time--it is plain HOT and the humidity just adds the extra kicker.
Conor and I have been working on our P90X. Tony Horton, we are BRINGING IT. We have decided to add more running into our regimen--our goal is to run every other day along with the P90X. I have got to say, running is always hard for me---but I did not expect it to feel like I was starting from scratch. I had gotten to the point where a 4-5 mile run was my short day--now a mile is a struggle. Can I blame it on the heat?
We ran a few times on vacation and Con would ask to walk about .5 miles into the run and run/walk the rest---well, yesterday he kicked my butt. He ran the whole 3 miles and could have gone further, while I did a RUN-WALK-RUN-HIKE-RUN-WALK-RUN combo---struggling to keep the nausea at bay.
Part of the trail is running through the woods and it was so beautiful. I felt like I could have run around in there forever--it was so much cooler that the hot blaring sun at 6pm at night.
We ran around the polo field. They were setting up for a polo match and the horses were being lead out of the trailers. They were so pretty and regal looking.

heat is tricky but usually gets easier! I often take my shirt off and run in the shade. sometimes i take scheduled walk-breaks if its really hot. i carry water too. usually go at night, NO hat or visor, that makes me hotter! and i think about january, LOL, i'd take the heat over 10 degrees, i think about all those slippery runs and how miserable i feel in jan. and then in jan i think about how hot and miserable i feelin july, lol. :-p Whatever you do, don't let the heat win!
I just crank up the AC and run on the mill - I know this is not everyone's favorite choice. But I LOVE IT!
