Hill run with Leggers this morning.
It’s beginning of summer, the temperature is soaring in LA, yesterday it hit 111 degree out in the Valley and 85 by the beach. We are schedule to run 9 miles today, along Temescal Canyon. I decided to run with the 10 minute pace group. I was concern about the temperature, I have been spoiled by running at 55 to 65 degree weather early in the morning (6-6:30 am). This group run later than I normally run (starting 7:15 am). The group leader assured us that we are not going to worry about speed and pace today. We just have to keep the hill run intensity going and keep hydrating ourselves. It will get HOT!!!!
I did ok considering the heat which knock the energy right out of me! The canyon is beautiful, running by myself all this time; I would have never known the route. I am really happy about that.
The last mile was just brutal, I felt like I was melting. I decided to walk the last mile with one of the girls. We chatted along, it was good. I kind of feel bad that I didn’t run the whole way, but I also know that being conscious about how I feel and listening to my body is more important.
Overall, a kick ass workout, I’d better get used to the weather, after-all, this is the beginning of the summer and it’s not going to get any cooler!
