Tuesday

79° and 90% humidity.... pretty muggy this morning. Ran 6.4 miles. Weighed before and after run, lost 4.5 lbs through sweat. I drank 40 ounces during the run, so I still need to hydrate w/ something that includes salt (CeraSport, Gatorade Endurance, or similar) or drink water and eat something salty before noon, since I think I"m going to either swim laps or lift weights today at lunch.

It's less than 24 hours since I formulated my weekly plan and already I've ignored it.

Ended up going 6.4 miles. Weather is rough though with 75° and 91% humidity. The pool felt great after the run. Drank 24oz of Gatorade endurance in the pool, weighed when I got back to the house and I was still 2.7 lbs lighter than I was before the run.

Lift weights tonight at the Y.

Saturday

I can't explain it, but somehow I felt the need to go a little farther today when I got to the Riverwalk. My plan was 12 or 14, but I felt pretty good so I ended up running out to Fort Benning and back for a comfortable 20 mile run. Took 3:06:54 to do it, which is OK for me.

Started around 6am when it was 73°F.

9am temps 77°F with 71% humidity.

Used the flashflo camelbak and refilled it once.

Tues - Weds

Short run on Tuesday. 76° with 77% humidity at 4:30 am. 3 mile run.

Wednesday: 77° with 70% humidity at 4:30 am. Ran 7.3 miles. Drank 32 ounces of water after my run (standing in the pool), got home and weighed myself, and I was still 2 1/2 lbs less than before my run. I lose a lot through sweat espescially when the humidity hits 80% and higher. A little over 4 lbs an hour.

Still, the full moon and clear skies... it was an awesome run this morning. I didn't embugger myself with a lot of stuff, just did it in shoes and shorts.
