Right now I'm saying it's going to be hot for the November half - it very well could be, unfortunately, and if I plan on that, then I might be pleasantly surprised with a cool front.

Definitely early morning when it's hot and awful, but there's hope--our weather has been getting better and less humid. Hope your weather cools off a bit too--it makes a difference. November, for you half shd be perfect, no?

Everywhere else we go past that and there are many to climb. I actually prefer hills to wind, though. John said the thing about hills and wind - Hills have to end some time, but wind doesn't.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-13340529835556647432012-08-15T09:46:05.995-05:002012-08-15T09:46:05.995-05:00Glad to help! :)Glad to help! :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-57970935921268767802012-08-15T09:45:42.201-05:002012-08-15T09:45:42.201-05:00Oh yeah, naps definitely happen!

After all the trouble with your ankle, this race will be a really big deal (besides all of the other reasons you mentioned). <br /><br />When I'm tired and have to keep running, I think "one foot in front of the other" which is like "forward momentum." Also, Kara Goucher suggests counting up or down from one hundred with each step. It helps! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-30342780103680485822012-08-15T07:02:00.876-05:002012-08-15T07:02:00.876-05:00All this slow running in heat is gonna make you li...All this slow running in heat is gonna make you lightening fast when you get to run and it's cooler!<br /><br />Do the track workouts.

So it's on my running wish list. <br /><br />I really admire you that you keep on running despite the heat. Not everyone would do that and give up but not you and that's a compliment.<br /><br />Funny though that you are running in the dark early in the morning while I noticed this morning it won't be long before I will be running completely in the dark again: yikes! <br />Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.com
