The Heat is OON ONNNN

Interesting article Greg sent me about running in the heat:
http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267--13245-1-1X2X3-4,00.html

it's a little bit long, but you can skip to the end where it gives the statistical difference between identical workouts, one at 50-some degrees and one at 80 or 90 or something. It's pretty obscene! And it's a little encouraging cause I'm feeling pretty hard on myself now and maybe i can just blame the weather.

  1. yeah the weather sucks! I haven't read the article yet but it makes sense that the weather is making this 10 times worse. I hit a wall today and I didn't even work out! I was just exhausted all day. so we'll see how I do on my 5-miler tomorrow. at 5:30am. UGHHH.
