10 miles at 7:08 pace at Wetlands Park at 101 degrees

Even though it was 7 pm when I started this run it was still 101 degrees out here - effin Vegas! Still after the first 3 miles I got used to the heat and was moving fast enough that there was a little breeze.

Mile splits: 7:17, 7:24 - Ack! It's 100 degrees!, 7:30, 7:13, 7:00 - making the adjustment, 7:05 - feeling better, 7:07, 6:45 - feeling the flow!, 6:52, 7:10. 1100 calories burned, brought the hydration belt and used it at mile 8, feel pretty good with this run on a hot summer evening at the devil's porchlight:

They say it's a dry heat - but you know what else is a dry heat? An oven.

  1. Great run! Especially in that kind of heat. I would like to see others do the same thing in an oven.
