My early morning run along the Pleasant Valley Trail didn't seem so much like an early morning when it came to the weather. Our Iowa summer is clearly in force for this week! As my grandfather said when he was living, "That's not sweat. That's liquid sunshine!" If grandpa was right, then I was downright drenched in it.
In my own training, I carry a water belt to make sure I stay plenty hydrated. When I first started running, I would get headaches and sour stomachs at the end of such runs I had today. Hydration solves that. And while grandpa would have solved the problems brought on by the heat with a big glass of lemonade, nothing hydrates better for athletes than water.
Our Royal Run will have three water stands (one that can be used both going out and back from Moorehead Park). However, if you've got your own water belt, or plan on getting one, then you've got the control as to when and where to hydrate.
Looking forward to seeing you display your "sunshine" this weekend!
