Heed the warnings... for death surely awaits!


I ran today. 1:30 pm, no clouds, air thick like a veil. It was Viet Nam hot. Deathly hot. Hotter than... you get the picture. I ran a miserable 10 minute pace on a 5k. Had to stop once on a hill and walk. I'll bet it was 115 degrees on that black pavement. I had no legs. As long as it stays this hot... I'll stick to early morning or late evening runs. It'll take me the rest of the evening to replace all the fluids. However, a run like that can only make you tougher. There truly is beauty in suffering.
