It's Gettin Hot.....

Last night I ran Flintridge without the Superfeet insoles on my new 1061s. The shoe felt better/not nearly as rigid but I did get a hotspot around my heel. Maybe I'll tree a heel cup with the NB insole; seems like the 1061 heel is wider than the 1060 and that movement may cause blisters. The heat is definetely on this week; running at 7 yesterday evening and at lunch today produced soaking wet cap brim dripping sweat from me.
I remembered my towel this morning when packing my gym bag but I forgot the Garmin. Seems like I'm always forgetting one or the other. Oh well, I knew the mileage on the route I was running and actually am glad that I didn't have the watch. Not trying to hit any specific time. It got ugly on the 2nd half of the run as part of it was along the Woodlands Waterway and there is not any shade there. Shade makes a big difference in this heat.

I think I saw you guys on Grogan's Mill tonight. I wanted to run with the group, but I had to run at 6 so I could pick my kids up from Tae Kwon Do. It was bloody miserable out there tonight... shade was a huge necessity. I still had to walk a few times on my 4 mile jaunt. Not too pretty, but got it done!

I hear ya regarding the heat. I think I may be getting somewhat used to it finally. Not that I like it but it is becoming more bearable. We were on Grogans Mill from Timberloch to South Millbend .
