94°F, I think I’ll go for a workout run...

It was hot today, very hot. However, I wanted to get my run in as early as possible to give me as much time between today’s workout and tomorrow’s long run. That meant I got out today at it’s hottest point….94°F. That’s hot. I took some water but it was still tough.

I listened to a Rogan podcast with Duncan Trussel as I ran and they happened to bring up the time that Goggins was running in 100°F weather. In the short video of his someone asked, “Why the fuck are you out here”. His response, “because you’re not”. I felt that today. I thought of a lot of reasons why I shouldn’t have gone out. It’s too hot, my foot is hurting, one day off isn’t going to matter…….none of that mattered. I went and I finished strong.

Another 6x3 work out. It was a bit faster than Tuesday’s workout. I felt strong regardless of the heat. That made me feel good. Why was I out there? Because most other people wouldn’t be. I’m on a mission.
