On Day 1 it was 95 degrees at 6pm. I poured ice on myself but it didn't help. That night I ended up in the ER, along with 200 other women. I sat in a hall for an hour, fan full on me, eating ice chips. Then I went home for the night. My body needed a break.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-23911678539780796062010-08-28T06:09:06.800-06:002010-08-28T06:09:06.800-06:00MC, I agree with Dave.

Around here runners drop dead occasionally in the heat and humidity. Please take care.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-47616376744157202982010-08-28T05:35:50.908-06:002010-08-28T05:35:50.908-06:00Yes, David, you are right.
I have gone 16 miles...Yes, David, you are right. <br /><br />I have gone 16 miles before, but not in 90º heat, blazing sun, and absolutely no shade. <br /><br />I think my limit in those conditions is about 10 miles. I hope none of my upcoming races have these conditions because I don't think I would even be willing to finish. <br /><br />And thanks everyone for your love and care.Mary Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156474205414127488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-77321344535396810412010-08-28T05:15:35.515-06:002010-08-28T05:15:35.515-06:00You used the term "give up."
Respectfull...You used the term "give up."<br />Respectfully, I must disagree. <br />I think you were just listening to your body and respecting it rather than trying to push it farther than it could realistically go.<br /><br />As time goes forward, you'll find more evidence how much your physical body is willing to take. Listen to it.

I like the thought the author had. Sometimes when I do a session of contemplative prayer I tell God that I'm opening myself up for Him to work in that place I can't reach. That place where I am not in control. Sometimes I cry when I pray that little prayer beforehand because I feel so vulnerable.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045801745534184703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-12732037182974814062010-08-27T20:52:04.696-06:002010-08-27T20:52:04.696-06:00Haven't even read your whole post through, cos...Haven't even read your whole post through, cos it's 3.50 here, and I got another soul to project and fret and give over to the program( I'm a gran).
