Not hurting like the joints or muscles hurt, but hurting like the pavement is burning the bottom of my feet and the straw-like grass is slashing them to bits.
It was another hot day and I didn't really feel well yet, but I knew I needed a good bike ride and I knew I needed to get a run in.
Basically, I rode to Milleniuim park and back and stopped at cemetery along the way to do my run. The pavement was so hot and the grass so poky that I abandoned the run after 0.73 miles and rode a little farther to West Catholic and ran on the grass of their well-watered football practice field (much nicer by the way).
When I got home, I soaked my feet in cold water (this felt wonderful, by the way). My garmin recorded the average temperature at something like 96 degrees for the whole ride/run. Yuck.
Distance: 1.31 miles
Weight: didn't check
Results: scorched feet from the pavement. Not really sore or tired, though. Even my calves did not seem to be too fatigued. This is a good sign. No knee pain, either.
What I Learned: on a hot day, some type of shoes almost seems like a necessity.
Plan: Run on Monday, likely back up at West Catholic's track/infield so I can avoid the burned, raw feet I have experienced recently.
