I'm the first to say how much I hate being cold and that I am a warm weather runner (good thing too, 'cause 'heat' follows me to marathons like the salmon to Capistrano), but there is an adaptation period and brother, I'm 'adaptin'.! I mentioned the beach, then Monday & Tuesday's run both were not east, though Tuesday got better the further I went. yes, I know it's the swallows that return to Capistrano...have you never seen 'Dumb & Dumber'? Classic line....Anyway - running at noon during this time is not your best strategy, early morning and late evening combined with consistent water consumption through the day. Slowly you'll adapt...it'll still BE hot, your runs just won't be as difficult. Plus next week when temps moderate a little, running will feel incredible! May and June are fun months since they usually aren't 'training' months; it's usually July when most of us have to get serious in targeting/selecting our Fall/Winter schedule. Ours is set, I think - Huntsville in Dec. & Charleston in January, wanted to go back to Houston but it's the same weekend as Charleston and, well we love both cities but South Carolina is the last Southern state for us to run a marathon in and we've been to Houston a bunch lately...so Charleston it is for a long weekend of running, eating and I seem to recall they have beer there...pretty sure. In September, Oct, Nov we'll stay 'local'...after missing it for 2 years we'll do the Flora-Bama Reverse Duathlon again and a few other races we love. Training begins July 'ish' targeting Huntsville...speed work, gym work, tempo runs, pace runs and most important...rest days. Too often we leave that little nugget out of our training, but it is one of the most important facets of training. If you work 10 - 12 hours a day umpteen days in a row you'll get bleary eyed, grouchy, and your production/effectiveness will fall off. Same with running, we get stronger/faster through the combination of stressing our muscles and then resting them...train hard, rest easy. The older you are, the more important rest is - for those of you over 80 runners.... Here's one other gem - when running in a 'big' race like NYC, Country Music, stuff like that..in the last .2 miles (or .1 if it's a Half) be sure you know where ANY costumed runners are...Do not EVER let Barney, a banana, or SpiderMan pass you at the finish...ever!
