I HATE running in the heat. However, I am trying to keep going and power through the summer months. It has not been easy so far, and as things heat up I imagine that they will get much harder. I find that if I make myself register for races then I'll keep training because I don't want to be dead last when I run them. In June I ran two 5Ks. The first one was "Run for the Pies". It's so named because if you run fast enough, you get a free pie. I did not get a pie. This race is also the Nike 5K championship. The championship race took place before mine, and it was neat to see some really fast runners do their thing. As for me, I did okay- 26:07 (29 of 119 in age group). This is a good time for me considering the heat. The other race that I've run this month is the Spirit of Liberty 5K. I had a very hard time with this race. The heat and humidity were horrible. I finished in 27:10 (which is actually a little faster than I finished the same race last year). I was the only one in my age group, so I won that by default. My friend Carrie was at this race cheering for her husband, Mat- who also won his age group. Next up- Peachtree Road Race.
