Notes
Hot as hell headed out in the middle of the day, 4th day of the official heatwave. Dew point was over 80. Temp about 92. Clear.
Left the house w/ a 20oz handheld. Running on asphalt sucked so I refilled the handheld at dunks and ran into the Fells. That felt better but I was still going through a lot of water. I needed to refill again at the DCR pool in Stoneham and then ran over to the other side of the Fells. It was clear that I wouldn't be in the fells long because 20oz was only good for 3-4 miles so I did a smaller loop before heading back to the DCR pool for more water. Unfortunately I misjudged the trail and ended up between 93 and Bear Hill Road and stumbled upon at least a dozen men, some fat and totally naked, trolling around the woods for sex. Yikes!
I was pretty miserable at this point but knew I was doing a good job with hydration so I'd be ok. I decided on a loop around and hit a Honey Dew for more water with 3 to go. Despite the advertised closing time they closed up in my face and the woman wouldn't give me any water so I got some from the pizzeria next door. Walking out of the pizzeria with my water a big sassy latin woman poured out of her Explorer in a sun dress and asked me if I had been working out. It told her I kinda am. She then went on to say "you've got nice muscles" while rubbing her legs then said "you do a good job." At this point I thought she was going to grab me as her play thing so I got out of there and jogged the rest of the way home.
Running in the heat sucks much more than I remember a couple years back. I hope it doesn't get worse in the future. Turns out this was my highest mileage week of the year so it's like money in the bank. If I keep jogging through the summer like I did this week I'll be able to make a nice big deduction this fall.
