It's not easy when you feel like that. The heat is really just nasty these days - maybe it will be fall soon :)<br /><br />Great to see you the other morning at hills!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615930655820867299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-56808299618697355012011-06-28T14:25:05.099-04:002011-06-28T14:25:05.099-04:00Congrats on your AG place and top 10 finish!

I do use the electrolyte pills and they seem to help me.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215575637275919972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-13127330358625400542011-06-26T09:26:58.699-04:002011-06-26T09:26:58.699-04:00It was great seeing you on Saturday!

I just drank a ton of water on Friday and Saturday morning. Does smart water really make a difference?Scienterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341920425019339872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-92107847721651185472011-06-25T17:33:55.633-04:002011-06-25T17:33:55.633-04:00Thanks Linds and Kazz.

Every time I've worn one, I wished I didn't have it. But I definitely will try the sunscreen thing. I have a 5K next weekend, so that will be great.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-38791403289168676702011-06-25T16:51:21.905-04:002011-06-25T16:51:21.905-04:00First congrats on the AG, top 10 finish and for pu...First congrats on the AG, top 10 finish and for pushing through it! Second, I'm with Kathy, it's too difficult in the heat to do 10k's and longer distances, which is why they're not typically offered in the summer. I def try to stick with the 5k's too. Sorry about your foot!<br /><br />Also, like you, I just don't race well in the heat and afterwards, I'm constantly beating myself up, comparing myself to others whom the heat seemed to have no affect on. It's hard not to compare yourself to the others, but try not to. George told me last year and it really helped me, "The summer is all about surviving the heat and the payback is in the fall races."<br /><br />Also, two things that have really helped me with the heat are sports sunscreen (it really does keep you cooler) and the visor!<br /><br />You did amazing, hope you are feeling better!! I'm a big chicken noodle soup fan pre/post-race, mainly for the sodium, although the GU Brew is really helping me too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-29096461415637055832011-06-25T15:19:02.283-04:002011-06-25T15:19:02.283-04:00Ouch!
