Hello! I made it to Florida. Not too shab.
Wait. I do need to give a shout out to National Donut Day. But since I celebrated hard on Monday (marathon victory lap) I had some of these fried apples from Cracker Barrel. Stolen. (Well, we paid for the meal, but I stole this from Ben.)

This morning I woke up hungry and started the day with come cereal and iced coffee.
Then, I set off on a run. I ‘slept in’ and didn’t get out the door until 7am – big mistake. I need to try and beat the heat a little bit more. It’s about 88 degrees, feels like 94. I don’t think that’s too bad, but the humidity – I am NOT used to that in ol’ California.
Thank you water fountain.
I ended up doing 8 miles. By the end I was a sloptopimus.
Then, I stumbled to 7-11 and the guy looked the other way as I made a massive iced coffee in a big gulp cup.
Breakfast!
And now it’s time to hit the beach. See ya in a bit!!

Tips for Running in Hot Weather
Question: Would you rather run in hot or cold?
I’d rather run in the cold! But, girl, I’m in Michigan (born in SoCal raised in the Mitt) so I just don’t do heat well. My body does seem to cool itself well…I’ll be hotter than hades and my body will be ice cold to the touch. Give me a cold day….any day!
Big Gulps huh? 🙂

I prefer the cold – but was in Florida (Manasota Key) a few weeks ago. Made myself get out and get it done every other day – and like you, was completely drenched. One day followed it up with “Beach Yoga” and almost fell over on my tree pose…….awesome stuff.
The heat wave just started here :(; it’s about mid-30s during the day and about 31 C during the evening – not much of a respite. Definitely like running in cooler temps.
I was in Florida a few weeks ago and it was so hot …even early in the morning. It did get me prepared for the summer weather in Baltimore, which is just as hot and humid!
Definitely definitely prefer running in the cold! You can layer up but you can only take off so many layers for a run!
I also have to say hot weather. Cold here in Chicago isn’t fun…I guess the heat isn’t either. Too bad we just don’t always have perfect weather 🙂
Ugh those hot days are the worst!! It makes the runs so much harder!
Hot, hot, hot hands down. I’m from Canada so I experience extreme heat and bone-chilling cold. Humidity is a lot easier to take than feeling as though you can’t move your face.
Hot beats cold for sure! I ran the Atlanta half marathon last Thanksgiving in 28 degree weather. Miserable!!
I’ll take cooler weather over heat any day. Running in humidity is so hard! Although So Cal has the best of both worlds. http://www.therestlessrunner.com
Have fun-nice view!!
Ahhhh I want to hit the beach so bad. One of my co-workers was talking about a pool party he was going to, and I was so so trying to snag an invite…no such luck!
If I had to choose I would rather run in cold weather. The heat kills me! Though layering to run in the cold is no fun either.
I wish we had water fountains out on running routes in the UK. Although I guess we have pubs. Stopped for a lemonade in one pub today, and a cider in another. Pub crawl! 🙂
Humidity kills me! And we had enough of it in San Antonio. I’m hoping for less of it up here in the Chi. <3 Way to get out there, missy!
Thank you for the heat post links!!! I have been dying running in over 100 degrees in Arizona!
LOL, our humidity is so much fun, isn’t it? Even so, I’ll take hot weather over cold any day.
Definitely cold!!! I sweat so much in the summer months. Humidity in NYC is bad too.
But I love the ease of tank and shorts or capris in the warmer months. Hate layering for the cold.
