Running in the heat…
Lately, the heat has been getting to me. Over the last several years, I have loved the warmer weather for running. I long to go run and look down at myself during a run, to find sweat covered legs. It tells me I am doing something and it makes me feel as if all the bad karma and stress is leaving my body. For me, it is just easier to go for a run in the warmer weather than in the cooler weather. It doesn’t take long to warm up, you can sweat profusely, and feel great after the run.
However, the heat during the last couple of runs have made me slow down my pace. Just this morning, my pace was good, but felt I didn’t have the power to push the pace any higher. I have felt drained. So, I changed my liquids to include a little more sodium and sugar. My hope is, this will help with dehydration during the run and help me feel a little better…
