Notes

Had a good night of sleep and actually slept in Sunday morning. The whole family was awake and missed my opportunity for a run Sunday. Got up today at 3:00. I can't seem to get 2 good nights of sleep in a row.

About a mile into the run it started to downpour. It felt nice in this terrible heat but was also annoying to be completely saturated so soon into a long run. The bugs came out at dawn and were especially fierce. It’s so freaky to glance back and see a swarm of about 50 flies just above my head. They constantly land in my hair and on my back. I must look like a complete spaz as I’m swatting my arms at them. They’re so aggressive that they just don’t care and land on me anyway. Little fuckers!

With this heat and humidity I was completely dehydrated by 90 minutes despite 2 water stops. The last 20 minutes were rough. Very happy when this was over.
