We knew we would be out of town for the evening of the 4th and then the morning of the 5th, so I decided to do my long Saturday run on my own, Friday morning. I usually head out with the Runners Edge of the Rockies Saturday mornings, which is a great fun way to get in the long runs.
The weather for my run was hot and sunny. I left a little after 8:30am, which was too late to beat the heat. I was out for almost 1.5 hours, and by 10:00am, the sun was high and very, very hot.
Despite the heat, I got in a great run and felt strong the entire way. I definitely missed the benefit of water stops along my usual Saturday runs.
