Day 98 - Ohio Heat

It's hot in Ohio...

And I'm saying that as someone who lives in Florida full-time.

The heat wave across the state has met up with me as I make a quick 48-hour stop to the family farm between site visits for work.

Last night the visited culminated with a few too many beverages and I'm feeling a little bit beat up today.

Nothing some electrolytes and a good morning run can't fix, though!

Today is a 70 minute Zone 2 run up and down the hills that are my brother's 1/2 mile driveway.

The start is slow. Very slow.

I was sweating before I even got started and my training readiness is a 3.

You read that right!

My heart rate is starting elevated and even at a snail's pace it is getting out of zone.

Looks like today is going to be more of an interval run than anything else.

I run and walk, my headphones filled with a recorded work call that I need to catch up on.

The pond looks amazing as I run by it. Checking in on the fix that are hanging by the edge.

They are probably wondering why the human is out here instead of the AC.

Smart fish.

I run and walk, run and walk, run and sweat, walk and sweat.

Hydrate, sweat, hydrate, sweat, hydrate, sweat.

The 70-minute ends and I've clocked almost 6 miles. Not bad for starting the day in a tough spot.

The best part is that my legs feel pretty good.

Even the bad days are getting better...
