I rolled out of bed around 10'ish, made some toast with peanut butter schmeared all over it, laced up the running shoes and was out the door. I had planned to do six or eight miles. Run up on 11th East over to Sugarhouse. Maybe take some laps in the park. On the way over there I realized what a horrible idea that all was. It was too hot. I am sensitive. I had to revise the plan and cut the run short.
Once I got to 21st South I headed west over to 8th East. I figured I could head back on one of my regular routes. Maybe the familiarity would take the edge off. Eight hundred East is a quieter street with more trees to offer shade. The heat still got the better of me.
When I got home I stretched for about one minute before heading over to the pool. It was opening day for the season. I had to cool off.
Matt Hein had called while I was out. They were planning on playing frisbee at 1 o'clock. I couldn't resist. It was hot, but I was among friends so it was still fun. I made some amazing catches while running down the disc. The field is completely dried up and dead. After we played a few games, we decided to go swimming. It was now my second time in the pool that day. We played some killer 500 with a frisbee. Good times were had by all.
I ended the day feeling drained by all the playing in the sun. It was a good feeling.
~5 miles; some killer frisbee; and a little bit o' pool time
