7/14
Slow and steady DOES NOT win the race, but it’s what’s needed to run in this nutty summer heat. I ran 20 miles at a 9-minute mile pace, starting at 6:15am when it was 75 degrees, and finishing around 9:15am when it was 86 degrees. By the end, the sun felt like a flamethrower, and not one inch of my outfit was dry, including my sneakers which were filled with sweat. Gross!
Up at 4:15am, I had a 1/4 cup of my homemade granola, 1 tbsp honey, 1 banana, electrolytes with a pint of water, and black coffee.
The new shorts and running fanny pack thing worked out well. I spun the pack around so my giant phone was on my back/butt rather than in front.
I also chewed 2 NUUN tablets, 6 SaltStick fast chews and 3 Skratch Labs energy chews in my run. All linked below:
