The Machine and I decided to run a couple laps around the Ironman Arizona route, otherwise known as Tempe Town Lake. Its a normal run for me but it was good to have the company even though he is running about 30 seconds faster per mile.
We ran ten miles. The last two miles it felt like the temperature went from 'damn this is hot' to 'Holy Crap, who jacked up the heat another ten degrees."
When we got back to the cars, the temp. gauge read 119 degrees. Wow. I don't think I have run that far in that kind of heat in a long, long time. Luckily at Tempe Town Lake Beach Park, (what a mouthful) there is a couple thousand square feet water park for the kids to splash in. Its free. We walked over and sat under the waterfall for several minutes. Damn that felt good.
What a great day and a blessing to be able to run, heat notwithstanding.
