Oh my goodness!  I went out to run my intervals (started week 3) at noon yesterday and it started out fine but it didn't take long for the heat and humidity to take it's toll.  I won't do that again.  Thinking of registering for some 5k's in the fall......I have fear of failure.  I don't want to be the last one over the finish line.

Ok everybody - we vow to set the alarm earlier or whatever it takes to get out there before the temps exceed 80 degrees! ;-) I'm recuperating quickly from a stomach virus and will be out there tomorrow am come hell or high temps! Posted by: bmoore on Jul 17, 2010 at 12:02 PM

OK running friends...feel guilty for not running more then 3 miles this week because of the heat. I am posting this out loud so I will be held to it...."I WILL run more then 3 miles next week, heat or no heat" Thanks I feel better now Posted by: LaurieB on Jul 17, 2010 at 11:53 AM

@ bmoore West Covina in the beautiful San Gabriel Valley! It is almost the same here Posted by: LaurieB on Jul 16, 2010 at 07:13 PM

Laurie - where are you? It's 103 in Woodland Hills! Posted by: bmoore on Jul 16, 2010 at 01:21 PM

5k's in the fall sound wonderful, but now in the Southern California heat I too am struggling to keep moving. You would not be the last one to cross the finish line, and if you were, you are a winner because You had the courage to start! Posted by: LaurieB on Jul 15, 2010 at 10:06 AM

You can do it, hockeymom! Especially if you've already started an interval program. You'll be amazed and how far you will go by the time races come around in the fall. Races are awesome because no matter how fast you go, you then have something to strive for and beat next time! And I agree, there's NO way you'd be last. Lots of people sign up for 5Ks just for fun and plenty of people don't even train. :) Do it, you won't regret it! Posted by: heatre24 on Jul 14, 2010 at 01:33 PM

You should do it! There is NO WAY you'll be last. All races have plenty of walkers and buggy pushers - you'll see. The experience of a race is something you don't want to miss. Posted by: bmoore on Jul 14, 2010 at 10:47 AM
