Heat training! Slow and easy 4.5 miles with my wife tonight definitely felt rough. Ver easy pace, but the humidity and heat just take it out of you. It feels like breathing while someone is standing on your chest. Here is hoping that the Laurel Valley Whitewater Run 35 Miler in North and South Carolina has some more accommodating weather to offer this weekend. The plan is to push the pace without going beyond a training effort. After all, I plan to do another run the Sunday morning after the race:-)
