Ran at the hottest part of the day and it was suffocatingly hot and humid out there. This is the first time I have run in weather like this in probably a year...
I shut off the hr feedback on the garmin to run by feel and I am shocked at what my average HR was... so high. It's probably due to heat and the fact that I basically chugged a venti iced coffee before the run. I know Bobby was right and I should have done more hot runs in my training. But, I have bigger fish to fry right now. Like, my shoulder.
I am more confident today than I was yesterday that I will be ok for the IM and I know I will be more confident tomorrow. I have to religiously ice the area and stretch, which seems to be helping. Right now, there's a lot less pain, just stiffness. Going to see Kev tonight...hopefully the great oracle will be able to shed some light on this for me.
