Off The Couch...day 14

A hectic, freaking hot day. 34 degrees (Celsius) in Hamburg, I felt like a sausage on a barbecue set and managed only to run twice HIIT. My work day was meetings back to back.

Tomorrow I will get up early to get a run in before the sun sets and burns the asphalt, cooks the air.

Am so tired, I will fall into my bed now, it was a 70 % day, tomorrow I will do better.

I will be back tomorrow, run hard,
Juli

P.S..: In the NIKE+-Shredder-Challenge I logged 255 kilometers, still 45 kilometers to go

Juli, I think I started sweating after your clear description of the heat today...you are great with words and can really paint a vivid picture. Get some rest...I know that you will achieve your goals! We'll be here cheering you on.

I don't know how you can run in the heat. You are a true athlete!

I'll second the hydration and sleep. In fact, that sounds like a really good idea for me, too. :-)

Run hard and run early!

Hey Juli
I get you on the heat.
Its blazing hot here as well.
Like said already, youd better stay hydrated or you'll probably end up with a nice headache after the run.
Best of luck

Right now it´s sooo HOT in Madrid. The wind is blowing like from an oven. Without a big hat you would collaspe walking. Am so proud of how far you are running in the challenge. You have blown all of us out of the water!

Hey Dan, you are also suffering from the heat here in Germany, thank you for stopping by.

It is so much fun to run with all of you, and especially you are doing SO WELL. really, it is fun.
