Welcome to Thursday peeps! One day until TGIF. I am looking forward to my early morning long run on Saturday and some HOT HOT HOT sprints/intervals tonight.
Last night was one of the hottest 5 milers I have ever run and I am sure it’s just going to get hotter. In my very own homage to David Letterman (love him) I have created a Top Ten List. Ok, here we go:
Top Ten Indications It’s Too HOT To Be Running:
10. You consider drinking out of a random house’s hose.
9. As you exhale the breath that blows back on your face feels like you are standing too close to a furnace.
8. The rain that fell before the run is turning into steam on the sidewalk.
7. The chattiest of your running group are dead silent.
6. You periodically curse yourself for signing up for that upcoming race.
5. People in their A/C’d cars are pointing and laughing as you run by.
4. Your running shorts are stuck to you in every place imaginable.
3. You drink your recovery beverage in Guinness Book record time.
2. You race a small child to the water fountain.
And the #1 Indication It’s Too HOT To Be Running :
1. You consider running naked.
Too funny! I feel ya! I honestly contemplated drinkin out of a water bottle that was left on the sidewalk this morning, seriously it's freakin' hot
Hilarious and sooo true!!
I totally drank out of a random cooler that was on the side of the sidewalk around Lake Baldwin the other day… this is why I tell you to run in the morning! I know you enjoy your sleep but come on girl!!! It's too blazing hot to be running during the day/evening! At least the whole of the night has burnt off the heat of the day so it's not nearly as hot! DO IT!!! GET UP EARLY!!! 😛
crack me up! How hot was it? We are having CRAZY hot weather for June…I feel like I'm running in Aug already!
Now that is HOT! You can knock those kids down…..
I have been on many runs when I have thought about using someones hose. I also pray that people have their spinklers on too so I can run through them.
I used to be a long distance runner and hope to get back into it again soon. I totally know what you mean about the heat!!! At least here, it's not muggy! But we also don't get anywher near the ocean either…. 🙁 Found you from SITS….you're inspiring!
I was SO THERE this morning! I am running (attempting to run)Marine Corps too – we will have to celebrate with beer afterward!
When is it going to end??? What it's only June in Florida you say? Damn.
Haha. BoB, this is hilarious!!! Love the blog!! I especially like #10, because I have thought that, along with potty stops as well… I can't imagine Florida in the summer, uggh.
haha this is a great list! i have actually drinking out of random hoses/spigots… lol.
