Running in the Elements

Ok so the weather lately has been nice but for a distance runner it is way tooooo hot. I went on a 3 mile run on Monday and almost died because of the heat. I normally run in the morning and it is nice and cool. But with school starting my nice morning runs have been pushed away into the heat of the day. I should be happy with the sunny weather because in just a few short weeks it will be freezing and icky. I race year round so I have to train year round. Sometimes it is so hard getting motivated to run after a crazy day at school expecially when the weather is not the best. But I still lace up my shoes and hit the pavement because that's what crazy runners do. :-)
