Hot Hot Hot

4.5 miles yesterday in the Maui midday sun. 90 degrees, very humid, no shade. Not so smart.

Did 1 mile at about 8:00 pace along a path that skirts the cliffs, and then slowed it down as the trail ended and I had to go 3/4 mile on the beach. Found a line of hard sand and it was OK but probably didn't do my achilles any real good. Cut back through some condos and then ran back down the road.

Way too hot to run at noon, I had to soak in the pool for 20 minutes just to get my body temperature back to normal, and it took me at least 4 beers to rehydrate properly.

After stretching and icing the legs were fine and this morning all is good! Although I think today's run will not be at noon and won't be on the sand.
