My time was pretty good today, which surprised me a bit, because I felt like I was plodding along pretty slowly. I ran at home today and didn't use the GPS, which generally tends to overestimate the miles, so I probably did even better than that. In fact, I counted laps on my Magic Mile and did ten full laps before it told me my mile was finished, so my time was probably actually closer to 14 minutes.

I ran at home because I slept in a bit late, and it was 7:15 AM before I was ready to run. Didn't want to take that extra 20 minutes to drive to the park, because it was already getting hot. Supposed to be another 90 F day today. It was "only" around 80 F when I finished running, but I was still feeling the heat.

I bought myself a running visor at Big 5, and wore it today. It was nice to have the top of my head uncovered. I also cut my hair short, so that helped keep my head cooler, too. I didn't take my water bottle, because it was a shorter run, but I kind of wish I had. I was starting to wish I had a drink at that last mile.

Next week, 17 miles! The weather report is currently calling for a high of 81 F next Saturday. Still hot, but much better than 91F. I should have no trouble if I get an early start.
