Day 64


This morning was group run morning. They did not cancel for the heat. In fact the had a 5k scheduled. 
Our training group ran with them. 
I only saw about a dozen of the group. 
I had no idea it was going to be a race but I registered at the table and pinned on my bib. 


I found my group B coach. She said she’d been planning on walking but as I had my timer out we went together. 
It was incredibly hot. 
We wound up doing 7.5 intervals instead of 5 and finished at just before 42 minutes. 
If you’d like to see the finish here it is. 
At the end they gave us cold towels and watermelon and snack mix. 
I sat by my car in the shade and felt a heat headache turning into a migraine. 


I got home and sat in the cold plunge and took lots of pills and went to bed. 


In the evening we went to a 4th of July party and we did our home fireworks. 



I skipped some meals today through headache nausea and straight up calorie restriction. 
It was easy at the party as they had ribs and pie. 


The Tour de France started and I watched team time trial while biking. 


I drank a fair old bit in the heat. 
I got about 85 oz maybe 90. It was hard to tell with cups of water on the 5k and cups at the party. 
I read about table manners which were remarkably similar in Shakespearean times.
