Finally got in my 1st 3 miler today

It was scheduled for Saturday, but I wasn't able to do it. Yesterday's schedule was 1 mile (the 1st Sunday run scheduled) but I couldn't do that, either. Finally felt better this morning, so I headed over to the highschool track about 10:30, before it got too hot. Or so I thought- it was HOT. And the track has NO shade (except for a tiny smidge of a corner). I had to slow to a walk several times. And a bit after a mile, my left calf was seriously bugging me so I stopped to stretch it. Only to hit my iPod somehow & end my workout (curses!!!). Argh! So I had to start all over. It was my 1st time running w/ a handheld water bottle (I believe it's called Amphibian?) & it didn't really bug me, except when I held it in my left hand (??? Maybe because I'm right handed?). I quickly found out that I couldn't actually take drinks because then I felt like I was going to puke. I had to take a sip & spit it out.
It felt like it took forever, but I finally got it done. How did it only take a bit over a 1/2 hour? It felt like it took over an hour!
Tomorrow's schedule is 2 miles & it's supposed to be even hotter. Yech. Then, hopefully, I'll make up Sunday's 1 mile on Wednesday.
Happy Memorial Day!
