I started helping a friend meet some goals today. I went out to her house in the country for a short workout and then ran home. This gave me about 5 miles. I thought I can't be a hypocrite so I have to run home. Wow, was it h.o.t! I left my comfort zone on this one. I usually avoid heat all together, especially when it tops 90 degrees. I was very thankful for the SSE wind - it really helped to cool me and dry some of the sweat. I downed 20 oz of fluid in these few miles. Good thing as I had about a 9:15 pace going. It really felt great to let loose and run. The heat did get to me, but I really think it was mental more than physical. I'll keep working on my discomfort zone.
