Started my run 2 hours too late and the heat definitely got to me.  Ran the first 6.25 out and then ran out of steam.  For the next 4 miles I alternated between running 200 steps at between 9 mm and 10 mm and walking 100 steps.

Don't you just love the dog days of summer? Man, if we don't get out there before the sun, we're toasted. GOOD JOB and AWESOME mileage! Goodness, I can't imagine running that many on a hot Monday morning after a weekend "work marathon". U DA TARZAN WOMANIMAL!!! Have a great day!

The heat absolutely kills you. You've got to get out before 4:00 a.m. if you want to not die of heat stroke! I'm glad Twighlight enjoyed 'running'!

I thought you'd be used to heat after your nasty weekend :) j/k I don't think anyone can get used to heat - YUCK! 12 miles in it is AMAZING though. Hey, I just glanced at your races - are you still doing DesNews 10K? I'll be there too, hopefully we can meet up for a hello!

It's been awhile. I am happy to see you are running injury free right now! Best wishes for the 10k on the 24th.
