Not That Impressive: Road to 50k Week 3 - Burning Up, Burning Up On My Run

Some like it hot. It's getting hot in here. See Joalby running, he overheating - cos it's hot hot hot.
Week 3 of Road to 50k Training and let me just say I'm glad I got this out of the way now and not later, so I know how to address this hiccup to ensure it doesn't happen again. So what exactly happened? Weeeeeellll, so let's just say the start of my Week 3 was a little not as I would have liked it to go.
I started my Sunday off with every intention of running an 11mile loop of Black Mountain with my gym's Second Sunday Trail Run group as part of my Long Run. Unfortunately, I started the run late and as the first 2.5 miles were downhill, I decided to run downhill and ended up exerting more energy than I would have liked. Add to that the fact that it was hot, humid and temps were in the low to mid 90s. After 5.5 miles I began to overheat and got really dizzy and shaky. Mind you I had already gone through 2 liters of water and the heat just did a number on me. I ended up running off the course and needing to catch an Uber back to my car, leaving me short the other 5.5 miles I was supposed to do.
I was able to join November Project SD for their Monthly 5k, which was hot, humind and hilly and I loved every second of it, because it got me my NP Pride Tag, the coveted rainbow NP tag. Let me tell you that this week I have never been so happy for Runners Yoga as I have been after these longer runs.
Was able to show up early before NP on Wednesday and get in a few prebounce miles on hills. And because my miles had been programmed and I didn't hit them on Sunday - I made up by running the remaining 5.5 miles on Thursday doing a Pacific Beach Loop. And I wrapped up my week participating in the Pride 5k for the 3rd year in a row. This time it meant something so much more because I had members of my NP tribe running with me.

Lesson of the week was by far : If it's hot as balls outside, then just deal with being bored and run inside on a treadmill OR switch out your dates. It's not worth passing out on an empty trail somewhere. Onward to Week 4, when my Long Runs exceed Half Marathons. Am I crazy? Isn't anyone with a vision, a goal and a passion?
