If you’ve ever wondered\u00a0what running 15 Miles on the hottest day of the year\u00a0looks like, here’s a brief synopsis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pre-run: Expected high of 95 degrees today with a heat index of 105.\u00a0 Yowza! It’s go time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 1: I am amazing. \u00a0I mean, really. \u00a0I realize I have only been running for about eight and a half minutes, but seriously, it does not feel that bad out. \u00a0I love running. \u00a0I feel awesome. I am amazing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 2: Ok, amazing might be a slight overstatement. \u00a0But, still, its the hottest day of the year so far and I’m out here. \u00a0That’s pretty badass.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 3: A bee flew down my shirt and tried to attack me. \u00a0Apologies to the neighbors of Castlewood who likely thought someone was being murdered in the woods due to the screams. And now its time for a rousing game of Stick or snake? Pleasegodnosnakestoday, pleasegodnosnakestoday, pleasegodnosnakestoday…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 4: Oh, light breeze, how lovely you are. \u00a0It’s really not THAT bad out here.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 5: I really hope those plants brushing against my legs\u00a0aren’t poison ivy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 6: Salted caramel GU is the best thing EVER.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 7: Almost to the turn around…Oh man, I have to do that again? \u00a0Ugh.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 8: Isn’t it time for another energy gel yet? \u00a0And if I’m drinking the water out of this vest, it should feel lighter.\u00a0 Instead it feels like it’s now full of lead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 8.5: MY EYES ARE BURNING!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 9: I hate this song. \u00a0I hate this song too. \u00a0I hate my whole playlist. \u00a0I should throw this stupid ipod into the Meremac. I hate summer. \u00a0I hate heat. 105??? More like 150! This is stupid. \u00a0I don’t want to run anymore. I hate running.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 10: What is with all these snakes? \u00a0It’s like being in an Indiana Jones movie or something. Oh, wait, all sticks. \u00a0I’m just delirious now. \u00a0Where am I?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 11: Garmin dead. These miles still count right?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 12ish: Stick or sna…AHHH! \u00a0Snake! \u00a0Oh, nope, that’s just the biggest worm on the face of the Earth. \u00a0I swear that thing would set a world record.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 13: Mmmmm, Apple Cinnamon Huma gel, how I love you. \u00a0You would be so delicious on ice cream. \u00a0Mmmm, ice cream….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 14: My shorts are soaked. \u00a0If I didn’t have to pee I would suspect that I had already peed my pants.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mile 14.5:\u00a0Hydration gone.\u00a0When the fluids are done, so is the run.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MIle 15: I love running. I am amazing.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
