My anxiety has been up and down (currently up!). Right now we are just looking at heat. .....well, and anxiety.
Walt lived through their heatwave in France a week or so ago - we are just starting ours. Two nights ago was probably the last night for a while where we could sleep with the windows open.
We are currently in the 90s and will be inching up to triple digits - higher with the heat index - by mid-week. Still, it might not be as warm as Europe got. At least not yet.
Marathon training starts tonight, but I'm not going.
They're running three miles only - which is good for the heat, but I haven't run "only" three miles in months*. Today will be a treadmill day at the gym run - which I haven't done for weeks. But even 05:00 will be prob too warm to do 6.2 outside. ...and worse luck - no one around to find my body for another 60-90 minutes. ....should I succumb to the elements.
Actually, I won't be doing training with the marathon group this weekend either. A. it's the 4th of July. B. I have a race that day**. C. the marathon group is doing four miles. For my weekend runs I'd be adding at least 10 to that. Oh, and it'll be in the high 90s.
Yeah yeah, I gotta train in that, I get that. But I have two and one half months to train in the oppressive heat. I think I'm good not running with them two or three times. It's not like I'm not doing the work.
* I laugh at myself when I way "only" in terms of miles. How did I become 'that guy'?
** I gotta stop signing up for this race, when it's always 90+ degrees. Clearly I'll never learn.
