Open Roads...a running blog

There are clubs you can't belong to, neighborhoods you can't live in, schools you can't get into, but the roads are always open. - Nike

5.5 miles

Awful! Went for my 7 mile long run at 8 AM, it was around 80 and very humid. Was cramping by mile 3, knew I wouldn't finish by mile 4, and was throwing up in my mouth by mile 5. So I turned for home. I'm really scared of getting heat stroke, so I feel good about my decision to stop even though I hated it at the same time. Went home and took a cold shower, drank a lot of water and gatorade, and ate a bunch of carbs and fruit. Felt okay by 2. Didn't feel tired physically or in my legs, it was just the heat that killed me.
