The heat got me today.  It was between 82 and about 85 degrees for today&#8217;s long run, with about 60% humidity.  The long run was on Sunday rather than yesterday because a) yesterday was supposed to be a race day, and b) neither the race nor my substitute run happened because I did a night shoot that wrapped Saturday morning around 8:15am and was too zapped to run.<\/p>\n<p>I set out to do about 15 miles today.  I contemplated busting out about 17 miles, but upon my third attempt of Cat Hill, I suddenly had to stop.  Done.  No more energy.  The heat got to me.  I stepped on the scale when I got back from my run, and despite water numerous times along the way, I dropped 6 lbs.  I was 175 lbs before this run, but after I was 169 lbs.  Whoa.  And cool.<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/40041279'><\/iframe><br \/>\nNo injuries to report&#8211;both my right ankle and my left calf seemed fine.  I set out very slowly today because of the heat and the time of day (late morning, with sun blazing).  It took me a while to get out because for some reason it took Garmin about 10 minutes to find a satellite.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the map, I did a little surprise course.  I was thinking I&#8217;d do three &#8220;sans loops&#8221; (loops without Great Hill) for my 15+ miles, but I decided to take on Great Hill in my first loop, then in my second loop.  When I hit the 72nd St. Transverse coming back down, I decided to turn left onto it!  I&#8217;ve never done that except in races.  But I was losing steam fast.  Once I mounted Cat Hill, I was only half up before nothing more.  While I had had my eyes on doing about 17 miles, I ended up with only 11.88 miles.  Given this heat, that&#8217;s not that bad.  But given that I hadn&#8217;t run in 3 days, it&#8217;s a bit disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking about getting in maybe a 10-miler tomorrow to make up some.  It&#8217;s to be seen.  I may have a challenging week of work with a couple night shoots.  That may mess with my motivation.  I&#8217;ve found it&#8217;s really hard to get me out of napping when I also have the option to run.  I keep needing my rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egad.
