We did a "fun" run on Tuesday evening...in temps with a heat index of over 100F (38C for my non-US friends). It wasn't really all that fun! We hit a hill, and for the first time in over a year...I wheezed. It was a little disconcerting...for those of you who have never experienced the joys of asthma or COPD, it can feel like you are trying to breathe underwater. It hurts. Thanks to Coach Karen and our running partner for getting me through. Ran again this morning in much more bearable weather with much better results. I know we're all going to have to acclimate to running in the heat, as we train right through the summer, so even though I struggled with Tuesday's run it was still good conditioning.
Within the next week or two, I may be strong enough to add some cross-training to the 3x/week runs. I hope so!
