Running into failure!
In today’s adventure my wife and I went out for a little jog. In the sun and heat. For a long distance. I had the crazy idea I wanted to try to do 10 or more miles today. I did not tell my wife how far i was shooting for but she knew I wanted to do some distance. We do up to 6 miles in our morning jogs so it had to be more than that. We set out in the heat and started at our normal pace but I quickly knew that would be too fast for me so I slowed down some. My wife does not believe in pacing herself. She likes to just go her speed. She was going and then would wait for me to catch up while jogging in place, then go ahead again and wait for me again. This worked OK in the beginning but she quickly (in 45 minutes) wore herself out to near exhaustion. She needed to sit in the shade, drink water and try to cool herself. She was so overheated she stopped sweating. That is a bad sign. I offered for her to wait for me to jog back and get the car to pick her up but she was not having any of that. After she stopped seeing stars and was able to stand up we started our way back. What a trooper she was. I jogged continuously the whole way back while she walked some and jogged some. Her walking was slightly slower than my jogging pace and her pace jogging was still faster than me and would catch up after not too long. We eventually made it back to the truck. In the end I jogged 7.35 miles and it took us 1 hour and 39 minutes to complete the challenge. We drank lots of water and each ate an apple on the way to the dinner for some breakfast. The fact that I paced myself kept me jogging and I/we could have done more distance.
After we got home and showered we were done for the day. No energy no desire to head back out. This was too bad since she wanted to go kayaking. Oh well.
In the evening I headed to the gym to do some upper body lifting.

I was heavy on eating and consumed 2,366 calories. I also did more cardio in the day than normal. Tomorrow is going to be the test since we will be running out side for our AM workout. I hope we do well and not bonk.
