<\/a>I think it’s going to work. I will experiment this weekend and see how it does. I like that it’s minimal.<\/p>\nSo for the last month, it’s been about 70 degrees in Portland. Kind of gray and cloudy–cool in the mornings. Now, with just 2 weeks until Hood to Coast, it’s finally going to get HOT. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature! I would much rather run HTC in 70 degree weather than the 90 degrees it’s supposed to be tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The run did not start out well. I ran down 6 flights of stairs and realized I forgot my water bottle I take running. Definitely a must for hot days! I said, “DAMMIT!” And turned around and ran back up the 7th floor to get my water bottle and run back down. My legs were not happy.<\/p>\n The run went pretty well. The heat wasn’t too crushing and I tried to stay in the shade when I could.<\/p>\n QUESTION: Have you ever had Jello Legs? What the heck is it?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n My legs were shaking pretty badly as I ran down the stairs of the Hawthorne Bridge. I ran the rest of the way back to the office, breathing hard the whole time. The heat had finally gotten to me, I think.<\/p>\n<\/a>During my run at lunch today, it was 79 degrees but it seriously felt like 85. It was HOT!<\/p>\n<\/a>I ran the loop and got to the top of the Hawthorne Bridge at a great time. Then my legs started to feel weird. They felt shaky and like jello! What the heck? I have no idea why. The only other time I’ve had Jello Legs was immediately after the Shamrock Run 8k I did.<\/p>\n<\/a>I was dripping in sweat! That shower felt fantastic!<\/p>\n
