dog days of summer

It's hard to believe, looking at photos of my half marathons last winter, that I froze my ass off, dressed in layers, with head gear, gloves and still came in like a drowned and frozen rat across the line. Today, at 6:30 AM, it was well into the 80's, humid, and only got hotter and more moist as the run went on. 8 miles of grueling heat, and all this before 9!! The serious training schedule will begin soon enough, and hopefully by then there will be some let up in the intensity. Meanwhile, I keep my mileage up as much as possible, and acclimate.

It's not long 'tll January. Really.
