Running in the heat
A good topic tonight would be running in the heat. The WOC took place in miserably hot weather. Today in Kansas City it is miserably hot, too. Right now (nearly 8 p.m.) it is still 99 F (37 C).
I ran this morning, but not as early as I should have. I ran with Dan. We jogged slowly. We covered about 10.5 miles in about 100 minutes of running time. We also spent about 10 minutes taking short walk breaks or drinking at water fountains on the route.
Dan and I both ran with heart rate monitors. In normal conditions, when we're running and compare out heart rates, they are about the same. Not today. My average heart rate was about 160 (despite going really slowly), Dan's was about 140.
