So it was a no go on the Keep LA Running 10K for me this morning! I woke up in time, 615am-but I took one look outside and decided REST might be the best choice for me today for many reasons: the 10K wasn't starting until 830am(which might have meant later), it has been UGLY hot here, the sun was already out-there wasn't a hint of marine layer and the race route had ZERO shade,I couldn't run with Velcro and yes it was already warm! All of these things were negative strikes for a good run! And let's face the fact-running should be fun! I couldn't find anything fun about this race except for racing-wait...this race wouldn't be fun for me! So I stayed in bed! I drank tea, watched a movie in bed and lazed about until about 9am! And it felt GREAT!!
It was HOT! I really don't like this weather! It's supposed to be UGLY hot at leat thru tomorrow-they are calling for a marine layer tuesday and wednesday and then thursday this UGLY heat starts again! Hate it!
But today wasn"t a total loss- I ran tonight with my girl! I waited until about 8pm when the sun was gone-it was still warm but cooling and the sun was night night! I'm so hoping for misty, cool, foggy,rainy weather for SF!!
Must go to bed! Good Night!!
RUN: 4.16 miles with Velcro (55:21)

Ha ha! I think you made the wise choice. It was *blazing* hot in OC even at the beach. I ran 5 miles at Crystal Cove State Beach about 9AM. Even at a recovery pace I was panting. I had to stop several times for drinking fountain water, since I don't carry any on these shorter runs.
And that is so cool that you are able to bring a child's wish to fruition! Way to go! Major karma points!
too bad about missing the race, but probably the right choice! :)
I also think you made a good choice. You need your rest! Good job on the night run!
think you did the right thing...agreed, this weather sucks ass.
