I worked this all this morning, so I could not run early like usual. Feeling pretty tough I decided I was ready for a run in the 90 degree heat at 2pm. Whatever, no big deal. This mentality worked for about five miles until I was exhauted and soaked in sweat. After that I zoned out until the finish. When all was said and done, I pretty much layed down for an hour to fully recoup. I drank way more water than I knew the human body was even capable of intaking, and felt nice and terrible for quite a while. Lesson learned.; hot afternoon runs = bad.

Nick - the key to doing those 90 degree runs is to make frequent drink stops and make sure you got some electrolytes mixed into your drink. But ideally you want to be out of the heat as much as possible unless your key race is likely to be in the heat as well. Even then, you need to find a balance between quality training in cool weather and learning to survive in hot one.

On another subject, we are running a relay race this Friday through Saturday, and one of our runners will not be able to run due to sickness. Are you willing/able to replace him? If yes, the race goes from Logan, UT to Park City, UT. If you could find your way to anywhere in Utah on I-15, we could pick you up from there, as well as arrange for a night of stay at somebody's house.

The race will consist of three legs of about 5-6 miles each mostly on lonely highways within a 16 hour period. This is a nice tempo workout.

Call me 801-788-4608 to figure out the details if you want to do it.
