As Planned

I took yesterday off. Just worked around the house. Today we were going to go into Chico anyway, so the plan was to walk with Laurae for an hour and then switch to the racewalk mode for another hour or more while Laurae went shopping. Didn't happen. We did the one hour, 3+ miles, but by the time we had finished, the heat was becoming a threat. And my supply of Bodyglide hasn't arrived yet and chafing is a real problem in the heat. So tomorrow will be my time to head into town early and see how far I can go before the heat drives me home.

Not that heat contributes to a bad training environment, on the contrary...the 2001 Portland marathon was a scorcher! But it started out cool...and that's how I want to do it tomorrow.
