27 and 28
I got run 27 in during my lunch hour on Friday. Then met the group this morning for run 28. It was surprisingly hot this morning. When I arrived at the market the temperatures felt comfortable, but after the first km I was sweating. By the end of the run I was dripping. Literally dripping. I kept looking up to see if I was standing under a leak or something. It was actually my sweat dripping off my head and hitting my arms and legs. Disgusting.
The heat has me worried for tomorrows long run. It's our first of our 3 annual runs to Port Stanley. I love these runs they are the best ever. From downtown to the beach at Port Stanley it is 26 miles. You can start anywhere along the way depending on the distance you want to do. I am running 17.5 miles. Our coach and local running store organize the run, so there are waterstops ever 3-4k. When you arrive in Port Stanley everyone jumps in the water, then heads over to the beach bar for some lunch and drinks.
I'm hoping it's not too hot tomorrow and I survive run 29!

Oh, so wish I had a location like that to run! On the sweating thing... I usually look like I've just taken a shower after I run, the humidity in KC can kill. :)
Good luck with 29!

I already love that run! I'm just impressed that you can hammer out 17.5 miles on day 28.
