Race day, Half #12 and weekly recap

 

I am up bright and early this morning for half marathon number 12. I am running the Gulf Coast half marathon in Pensacola, FL. It is part of the gulf coast series (remember the one I ran in October for TNT?) Same group/series.

Flashback to last October, Gulf Coast half Mandeville, LA

The race starts at 7:00, and as I have been mentioning all week, I am worried about the heat.

So it will be between 70 and 75 when I am running, and I looked up the hourly humidity and it’s 85% at the start of the race. It’s going to be a hot one, folks! Also notice the UV index is a 10, “very high”. Sweet! I kid. It will be ok. I just don’t handle heat well (recently found out it’s a side effect of one of my thyroid meds.)

So if you are up at 7:00 central this morning, pray for me and Bobby please (and all the other runners!) I also have the honor of being one of the people who gets to judge the water stops. There is a cash prize up for grabs so I better be paying attention!

Number 12, here goes nothing!

————————————-

This week of workouts I took really easy. I will just do a brief recap for you since I did so little.

Monday: ran 4 miles, lifted legs, abs, bi’s and back

Tuesday: rest

Wednesday: ran 2 miles easy, lots of housework

Thursday: rest

Friday: rest and massage

Saturday: rest

I know there is a LOT of resting in there. I wanted to get another run in Thursday but I ended up traveling to my parents house and there just wasn’t any time. oh well, right?

QOTD: How do you fare in the heat while running?
