Holymothereffingshit. We are in the middle of what they are calling a 3 day heat wave. In the shade, we have a "feels like" temp of 108*. People were dropping like flies on our run. I was pretty sure I was going to yack up my last gel when I stopped for water at mile 15. Not from over exertion, but from the heat. Not cool, FL, not cool!!
I still managed an 8:35 pace for the 16 miles, but the water stops were liberal. I just needed to bitch about it & this seemed like a good place to do iit.
That is so badass. I bow down to you. I am not worthy.
Thanks, girls! It was pretty encouraging. We started at 6:00, but it was already warm & so humid. Once that sun came out, it was rough. I felt reasonably good the whole run, & then suddenly at mile 15, I got really lightheaded & my mouth did that whole pucker & salivating thing. I walked into the shade to cool down for a minute, then I finished the run. My legs & the rest of my body felt good though!
Wines Not Whines, it shouldn't be that bad when you're here. It's been hot, but this is an especially brutal heatwave that should pass by then. On a happy note, ya know that half I was dreading? Turns out GA is getting a cool front, & the high is supposed to be in the 70's! I'm giddy. Lol
I left for vacation only to wake up with a sore throat. After spending 2 hours at urgent care, I spent 45 min at Publix waiting for my prescription (diagonosed with strep). Got back in time to make lunch for everyone. So no beach for me today and not sure when I am going to be able to run. So bummed.

That really sucks. Hope you get some rest and feel better quickly!
