I left my house Sunday morning and was out walking at 6:25am. By the first mile I was a sweaty dripping mess. On tap was a nine mile walk. 4.5 miles out and then back. (Don't like going around in circles very much.) Was doing pretty good and had an average 14:30 pace. Was drinking water about every 3 miles and had a clifshot at mile 6.5. VERY VERY HOT and HUMID!! By mile 7.5 I could feel I was slowing down and getting physically tired. Not sure what was up with that, normally 9 miles is not that big of a deal. The last mile was tough and about hald of that I was strolling at about a 20min pace. Got home and in the kitchen to get ice cold water was feeling a bit dizzy. Got in the pool to cool off and float around to get off my feet. Felt good but the pool was a chilly 84 degrees.
Took my shower and ice bath to chill out my muscles.
I have decided that training for a half marathon in the summer in southern Florida is a stuipd idea. I also need to get out earlier and maybe do a walk in Friday and not Saturday before my long walks on Sunday. Only 8weeks until the DL 1.2!!!
Good Training everyone.
