16 miles

A week ago I was in Canada, spending a week with temps in the upper 30's and plenty of rain.  I ran outside once through the soggy city streets, and spent the rest of the week on the treadmill. Yesterday I attempted 20 miles in 80 degree weather without a cloud in the sky.  It was brutal.  I only lasted 16 miles.

I was in a daze afterwards, like I barely understood what had just happened to me.  I spent the next hour on my dad's back porch just trying to slowly rehydrate and regain my senses.  Permanent hot weather is on its way.

One thing's for sure: long runs are never glamorous.
