Ran 4 at noon.  I'm not sure how hot it was but the sun was definitely out.  I run in the dark and the sun intimidates me.  I started out with a relaxed warm up mile planning on taking it easy for the next three as well.  So there I am shuffling along on mile 2 wallowing in self pity because the "hot" sun and noticed that I was barely breathing.  That didn't come out right.  I was running at such a wimpy speed that breath was barely more than a walk.  So I picked up the pace.  It wasn't very fast because my legs haven't run 14 miles in 3 days for a while and they were a little tired but it was more effort.  I still almost wimped out a few times, tempted to just shuffle along but I kept it up.  I found a guy to chase down as well and that helped.  Well, I put a crack in the "wimpy afraid of the sun" barrier and I'm pleased about it.  (and a little embarrassed that I'm pleased about being a wimp)  Avg 8:43

You WERN'T being a wimp, so you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Nice job in the hot sun. I drove past at 1:00PM - should've looked for you :) Nice job getting the miles in and staying consistent!
