14 done 12 to go

I seem to have neglected my blog lately. I am trying to graduate this year, so things are a bit hectic.

In the running area, I am battling the heat, as probably most of you do too. I noticed that as it got hotter it became extremely hard to run the distance. Turns out, I was trying to run too fast. Jeff Galloway suggests some speed adjustments for hot weather.

By dropping my speed and using the new water fountain I found on my running course (so, now I have access to water at 3.5, 7, 9.5 and 12 miles, which means I don't have to carry my own) I was able to finish a 14 mile run.

This week I hope to try a 16-17 miler using the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis.
