Describing The Nexus of Distance Running and The Law.

Tuesday, August 01, 2006

I didn't expect much. I just knew that it was going to be hot. The seven mile route is composed the following:
Dangerous intersection, long back farm road, a gradual perpendicular inclined road, open state road, (the blast furnace) and back.
The heat by the farm was so thick, so immersing, it felt as if it was litereally wrapping itself around my body. The temperature of the state road, I estimate to be 120 degrees. The thermometer outside my home stops working at 100.
The Governor called for energy conservation. The State House shut down lights.

The really scary thing about this kind of heat, is not what happens during the run, its how the body reacts afterwards. Stomach feels as if it wants to implode, and ears pulsate with every heart-beat.
Went into the pool afterwards, to cool myself down. This worked, while doing some gentle plyometrics.
Stay hydrated all!

NEVER SETTLE FOR THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE

I think my body has finally acclimated itself to the heat. Like most things within my training, it is often unexpected when something occurs. Rather, I only notice it when I don’t posses it.
The National Weather Service recently issued a heat warning for all of my state. It is cloudy out now, and I am planning a 7 mile run later this afternoon. We will see how hot it becomes.
