Well, at 6:40 I started on an adventure in the heat.  It was 95 degrees to start my run with 30% humidity.  Lets just say it was hot and the sun was not even fully out.  I ran down to the lake which was 6.4 miles and then headed to the water as fast as I could to cool off and get a swim in.  It was really busy on the lake with it being Saturday, so I only swam for 20 minutes because I was a little afraid for my life.  By the time I got out of the water it was blazing hot!  I started my run and tried to keep it nice and slow with my HR around 148.  About 4 miles into my run I was out of water and gatorade and I still had 2.6 miles left to run.  Before my run I decided to keep my credit card in my pouch in case I needed it, and I did.  I stopped at a gas station and got a coke and water to try to re-hydrate me and give me some energy.  I drank about half of the coke and filled my bottles with ice and the water and off I went.  Within about 10 minutes my water was no longer cold, but I felt much better.  The sun was brutal, but I made it and am still alive to write about it.  When I got to the house my little boy and wife were out for a little run so I joined them for a few minutes.  It was fun to see them enjoying something I enjoy so much.

It was a fun and HOT adventure this morning, but I am hoping the extreme heat we are experiencing now doesn't stay for too much longer.
