Run on September 5th

A very quick update on my run yesterday.  My Garmin still won’t connect to my PC, so this limited data is from the watch itself.

Wow, was it hot!  I got completely clobbered at mile 3.5 and had to walk a couple times to catch my breath.  The heat and sun were oppresive!  The sweat was coming out of every pore in my body.  I used both water bottles on the run to cool myself off and rehydrate.  Need to start getting my runs in much earlier to avoid the heat.
