Headed out for a long run yesterday to complete week 2 of the Hal Higdon Marathon training.
Never start running at 2:30pm when its 30+ degrees! 
We had headed into the city for a coffee and some blogging with the C1. Very cosmopolitan. And we had a bbq at a friends place at 5:30 pm. So the timing was to catch up for a coffee for an hour or so, get the togs on and run home from Mt Lawley – about 12 – 13kms. The run called for 11.25km according to the training program.
Anyway, the heat got to me, as it might, and around 5.6 kms I wasn’t sure if continuing was a good idea. So, on the phone for the FBH to come get me.
Two lessons:
- Don’t run in the heat of the day!
- Carry water with you!
- (bonus) Stick to the plan and get up early to complete your exercise
Rest day today, let’s see if I can do that!!!
Have a great week!
