what 10 miles looks like . . .

*yawn*

Matt and I usually do long runs on Saturday.  He will go around the neighborhood when he wakes up and I'll meet the running club on the beach at 6:30.  I had a workshop on Saturday so we didn't have time to get in the long run. We decided we would do it on Sunday and Matt planned a great route starting in Hollywood and running along the boardwalk and back.  We woke up at our leisure (7:00) and didn't get to the running zone until 9.  Big. Mistake. By 9:00 it was already 92 degrees with 88% humidity and we still had to do a long run.  Some of you have already asked me, "what's it like to run that long?"

Let me show you!

Mile 0:

notice how happy and dry we are?

Mile 1:

SO much energy!!

Mile 2:

the intercoastal waterway.

Mile 3:

I was starting to notice the heat

Mile 4:

nice view!

Mile 5:

cute dive shop!

Mile 6:

srsly, we were so overheated. I could have bathed in the ice cream.

Mile 7:

I may *look* a little refreshed- I had just stopped for a cup of ice and dropped it all down the inside of my shirt.  This was the hottest I've been- ever- even after hot yoga.

Mile 8:

let me rest a little...

Mile 9:

*death is surely imminent*

Mile 10:

must.lay.down.

can't.wait.for.pool.

 We made it!  We will never wait to start a long run again.  Lesson learned.  After getting home we dove in the pool and ordered a pizza.  That was followed by a 2 hour nap and lots of water.

That's what 10 miles looks like!
