Placed "on-call" at 5pm for my night shift just as I was gearing up to be up all night for the second night in a row.  So very hot outside!! What to do?  I can't run in this heat!!  And the gyms are closed for the holiday.  Decided to just get dressed and see if I could make it out the door.  Called Kim to see if I could use her treadmill.  She called me back 1/2 hour later.  Yay!! I can.  Drove to her house.  Hot ride.  So glad I didn't attempt to run outdoors.  Chatted then she walked me to her basement TM.  She asked if  I wanted the door closed, I agreed.  Plan was to run 2 mile warm up then two at "MP" whatever I can get that to by October 2nd.  Then cooldown.  Well the first two miles felt so lovely I thought maybe I need to always run on the TM to avoid the heat.  And then I started my MP miles-  6:58 followed by an AP second mile of a 6:44 (6:27 to 6:53).   My toes kept hitting the front of the TM so I took that as a sign that I needed to speed up.   I was sweating buckets.  It felt mighty warm.  What happened to the cool air?  Am I that out of shape?  It turned out I was on the side of the house that gets all the afternoon sun and forgot to shut the shade (a little sleepy I guess) and the vent in the room for the air conditioning was closed!!  When Kim came down to help me wipe off her TM from my display of intense sweat she was like "oh my its like 20 degrees warmer in here!!"  Then we realized the problem with the sun and the vent.  Glad to know I was not that out of shape.  I actually felt A LOT better on the TM then outdoors, my form felt better and my body didn't ache.  I was able to place my foot better to avoid the pain I have been having there.  I sure hope I am on the mend   : D.  I will keep adding on MP miles each week.  Next week will be four followed by 6, 8, 10.  Then the Hobble Creek Half marathon in four weeks.  I hope to PR but that all depends on my confidence and my body.  I am working on more positive vibes about my running!!  6.5 miles @ 7:57 pace.   1% grade.
