I bit the bullet...

I finally just decided to get out there and go for a run in this awful heat. One of my fellow MRTT members asked who wanted to join her for a 3 - 5 mile run that night and I jumped on it. It was 107 degrees and we ran a nice slow 3 miles. It wasn't as bad as I expected when we started out. It was definitely hot, but it didn't feel stifling. Then we hit the 1.5 mile mark and turned around to double back... It was like someone cranked up the heat. Suddenly we were running into a wall of hot air. Ick. When we finally made it back to the parking lot, I was so happy to be done. lol. As soon as we stopped moving (we stood and chatted in the parking lot for a while) the sweat just started pouring!! It reminded me of a funny pic I saw on Pinterest recently that said "I love running... After I'm done."

I snapped a quick pic to remember the day I overcame one of my mental hurdles... Running in the heat.
