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!!!
