flyover
fly.
But first...
Long run is 14-16 miles tomorrow.
Decided to lace the shoes up, and incorporate Psycho Psummer 10M into my miles.

More heat.
More humidity.
More bending.

Cool! The legs were still fresh after yesterday's longer run, and more time spent in the heat.
So...I have a friend, @thecarpentersdaughterco, who made some bug spray that smells REALLY FREAKING GOOD, but...they live in Colorado, and don't get me wrong they have bugs, but the swamps of Missouri & Kansas have...just pure, unadulterated evilness (with wings). Anyways, today was the ultimate test of product, the trail system where I've pulled ticks, swatted mosquitoes, and fought with a horse fly so big that it hit my @garmin and actually stopped my run. Serious stuff.
Not only did none of the pesky pests both me, but I smelled fabulous during my run as well!
Music that tasted good this week:

Yay, heat!
I consider today a win. I took off in the peak heat of the day (low humidity though), stopped twice to ice down my wrists and head, drank my water and @tailwindnutrition, ate my @honeystinger gels, and still finished 12 miles in respectable time for myself.
Trying to focus on the "mindful movements". Today was not fast at all, but it was meaningful. Each mile was analyzing, "Does this hurt? Why does it? How does my stomach feel? Am I hungry?" More time placing my feet on autopilot (without tripping on a rock), and listening to where the rest of my body was at. There were moments of power hiking, moments of running, and everything in between. In the end my body doesn't feel wrecked, but the time and distance results are similar to more historical painful experiences.
Consider this a win.

After the sweat-fest on Friday; I was rewarded with a 90 minute run today through the Barr Trail.
60 minutes up
30 minutes down
A few bumps along the way, but it felt amazing moving up a couple thousand feet.
Why do I have to come down?
