THE WORKOUT: Long Run. Distance and time undetermined.
It has been two days since I worked out. Friday was completely full as we were cleaning the house and getting things ready to go photograph a wedding all day Saturday. Saturday was an all day wedding, which is a workout in itself. You may not think that standing and squatting for 10 hours isn't much, but it never fails to have me exhausted by the time we leave and just looking forward to sleeping.
So, Sunday morning came around and I woke up determined to make up for the lack of formal workouts over the last two days. I decided I'd take Liam with me and we'd run on a new trail up to Shawnee Mission Park from our house and then call Meagan to come pick us up and then we'd go for a walk with our trio of Liam, Oliver, and Ruby.
I started at a very comfortable pace and spent the first few miles getting through traffic and stoplights. We finally made it to the trail around mile 4 and started to make some better time. It was WAY more hilly than I expected and really a tough hot run. Liam and I both got sunburned. I need to remember to put sunscreen on him before we go out again. We saw a few trains, which Liam was super excited about.
I brought 36 oz of water and drank most of it. I also consumed 2 bags of Jelly Belly Sport Beans during and a CLIF Chocolate Chip Mint Protein Bar before the run. All in all, it was a fun run. I could have done without the heat, but it wasn't terrible. I'll just have to start running earlier in the morning to beat the heat.
