training in the heat.

Today was too hot to run.  While I relish the so-called character building aspects of cold weather running, with its Jack London, "To-Build-a-Fire" facing of the elements, I gladly let the heat have its day.  In sub-freezing weather I once ran a marathon PR, but when the temperature jumps over 80 I choose AC over training every time. 

We are in Tammi's hometown now and Tammi's brother is a top-notch, professional physical trainer.  Instead of going for a run today, we let Derek, Tammi's brother, run us through a half hour of sprint and agility drills.  It was a huge neuromuscular challenge, and it opened my body in some new ways.
