Weekend
>> Sunday, March 15, 2009
I had a great weekend- I laid out in the sun by the pool for over an hour yesterday and today.
Glorious. I might actually start looking like I live in Arizona...
I headed out for a run today at about 1:00 PM. I ran 5 miles in 52 minutes, which worked out to be about 10:24/mile pace.
I planned on going further but it was just too hot. I filled 4 containers- 2 with Powerade and 2 with water but I ended up drinking all of it in only 5 miles.
Weatherbug said it was only 75 degrees outside, but I'm calling "bull shit" on that.
It was super hot- especially because there was no breeze and the sun was doing it's thing...
The good thing- no calf cramps!!! wahoo! I got a massage a week ago now and I went the whole week without a calf cramp. I'm hoping it cured me. It's not to say that my calves weren't tight while I was running, but they didn't cramp up so I'm hopeful.
I have a half marathon sneaking up on me very quickly so I better kick it into high gear...
Until tomorrow,

I am longing for some nice hot weather it's been cool and rainy here lately. yay on the massage! they can really help.
Poolside. That sounds so nice. I'm glad to hear your calf cramps were nonexistent.
Yeah, if AZ is anything like FL in terms of late afternoon sunshine, 5 pm is just too hot for running.
The sunshine sounds wonderful, except for running. I would die in 75 degrees right now since I'm so not used to it. Great run though!
