Well it was a scorcher this weekend, but the running continued. Yesterday I put in about 8.5 miles early, but it was still 80 degrees (at 9am!). The first 2.5 miles i ran on my own in part of central Park, then the next 6 I ran as part of a 10K Women's race in central park. The race was about 5000 women running through the park. The heat had it's effect, so I played it safe, and didn't try to be too speedy. Finishing and feeling as best as I could was my goal. I made sure to take in water and gatorade every chance I got, and I ran under each of the 3 hoses that were spraying over the roadway. All in all it was a good run, complete with a medal and pink carnations for each of the finishers. The rest of the day was spent trying to stay cool!
Today I took off from running, and again tired to stay cool with a little shopping.
Follow my training progress from now until October 25th while i gear up to run the Marine Corps Marathon in honor and memory of my Uncle Tom.

Wow, Pam! TNT, again!!! Twice in two weeks???!!!? You are a little nutty, but kudos to you. Glad to hear you did the 10K. I did it well which was exciting as it was my longest race yet. Definitely a scorcher - but great to see so many folks out. Good luck training in all this heat. We'll have to get together soon. Run safe!
