Notes
so on the plus side it was only 96 out today during my run. On the downside the heat index was 108. That was not enjoyable. I also made the massive mistake of eating maybe 2 hours before i ran. Being the math minor that i am i can explain this via the following equation:
Full Stomach + Way Too Hot Outside + 10.5 miles = Eternal Sadness
There were some total cuties that waved at me on the gravel road that was ostensibly closed due to a small bridge being out. That didn't really affect me since i could just go down and then up the ditch instead of taking some total bull detour. Unfortunately for these young ladies they were not only ignorant to the aforementioned bridge issues but they had to turn around and go back the way they came. Because of this i saw them twice, both times receiving extremely friendly waves. This, along with my very sad and dehydrated state had me feeling bad for them as far as how silly they looked for having to turn around and go back they way they came originally. Finally however reason won out and i realized that they probably felt bad for me. I can imagine what was going on in their heads "oh god, who is this miserable bastard, he is skinny as hell, looks really tired, and there is no way he is having fun today. Maybe i should have at him, that could help." Well it did indeed help. Though not as much as the shade during the middle part of the run.
