Rough run in the heat!!

I set my clock for 6am, and when I woke up, thunder was rumbling and it was raining. I thankfully rolled over and went back to sleep, but the sun eventually came out, and I knew I had to get my run in.  I decided since it was sunny and somewhat nice to go to the nearby park, another one of my favorites, with a two mile walking trail around a giant lake. 

I started around 11am, and the sun was already pounding.  I held my own, but after the first two miles, I was feeling the sun.  My legs weren't tired, but the heat was definitely getting to me.  I was determined to do three laps around the lake.  On my second lap, I noticed a little white butterfly that followed me throughout the rest of the lap.  I imagined it was Perry, cheering me on.  But after that second lap, I just couldn't go anymore.  The sun got the better of me. 

I couldn't be down on myself....four miles was great for a run!   But I was bummed I couldn't make it around one more time.  Next time!!!
