Miami Marathon Training - Day 9 of training - 105 more to go

Today was rough! I had 19km (12miles) on the program. In order to avoid the excruciating heat I woke up at 7 o’clock (4 hours of sleep). I felt really good for the first 12km (7.5miles) or so. But then it started getting really hot i felt really dehydrated! It got so bad, that after 9 miles I started to see black spots and felt really dizzy. I interupted my run to drink almost 2 liters (half a gallon) of water straight before finishing the rest of the run on a treadmill. I have to start bringing a water bottle with me.

Anyway, today was good! After the run I took a bath in Epsom salt to get all the gunk out o my legs and to treat my blisters.

Next week is recovery week!
