Not every day is a win…

Well, today I got my ass kicked.  The 60 mile bike went well, but this ‘big boned’ body is not meant to run in the heat.  Mind you, it’s Wisconsin, so when I say heat, I mean 80.  Yes, 80 degrees and I overheat faster than you can say ‘hydrate!’  Today it didn’t matter.  I was spent.  Only ran 6 of the 11 miles we were supposed to, and once I made it back to the car, I didn’t have it in me for another loop.  Ice pack on the neck and a nice long drink in the shade were all that mattered.  Of course, now I’m wishing I would have pushed through it, but honestly, I don’t know if I could.  I need to find a way to be able to run in this heat and humidify.  Working on the weight, I’m sure that’s a factor.  But there’s got to be something else, there are other guys as big as me that do just fine…
