National Running Day

Happy National Running Day!

I celebrated by running seven and a half miles in the blazing heat of Charleston, SC, and almost passing out...  Could be worse, I could have actually passed out :)

I learned a good lesson today.  Don't be an idiot, bring water when running in hot weather...

I have several races this Summer before my marathon this Fall, but I needed a break after the Palmetto 200 and the Warrior Dash.  I took it easy for a few days and then went on vacation.

I was in Winston-Salem, NC, this past weekend and found out first hand that running ten miles there is very different than running here.  I knew it was going to be hilly, but I had no idea how tough it would be.  I ran the whole ten miles on and around one of the hilliest golf courses I have ever been on.  My legs were toast...

Anyway, I hope everyone made it out on the road or trail today and celebrated National Running Day!
