Notes
Once again horrible running conditions. 93% humidity, bright sun, 75+ degrees. Carried more ice water today (so pack a lot heavier). Ate 4 clif bloks over in HH running down the hill and into our neighborhood. Hat with no sunglasses. Very hard to cool off, even with all the ice water. I also took a succeed around 4.3m as I was not feeling so great. That helped a bit. Felt like I wasn't even moving even though my effort felt hard. White sleeveless insport v-neck shirt, white skirt, toe socks, darn tough over them. Got blister on big toe next to 2nd around mile 5.8 to mile 6. Went inside and got ice coffee for cool down around mile 6, I think. Ran the rest without the pack. So much easier and lighter that way; I also had a piece of ice in my hat for that part and the cool down walk and it helped a lot. this running with the heavy pack feels like it is really boosting my cardio and strength in my legs, back, core to keep stable with the extra weight trying to flop around as I go up and down all these hills. The stinky dead deer was gone today; yeay! I lost 1.6 lbs on the run in spite of all the drinking.
