With the Heat Advisory posted today I was hoping to start earlier but 9:00 was the best I could do. In the morning, a good bit of the route is in the shade. Annoyingly and amusingly, I had “looking for shade in all the wrong places” going through my head as I found myself in a sunny section of road, scanning for the next shady section ahead. A light breeze was super welcome this morning making the humidity bearable. Enjoyed the variety of terrain on this course after the dead flat and straight Jim Schug Trail on Saturday (although that is super pretty!). I can tell that I’m now reasonably trained up to the 10K mark, but going beyond that distance is still a bit of a push.

As with so many others, the logical choice was to step into Brookton’s. Took me 10 minutes of profuse sweating before I dared do so, however, and wow was that AC cold! Decided to sit under the tent to enjoy the recovery drink of champions–thick, creamy chocolate milk from Hillcrest Dairy! And wash that down with my second coffee of the day!
