I was asked to join the first day of running on the St. Jude Memphis to Peoria Run. I did this run last year and ended up running around 7 miles. It was projected to be a little cooler this year but still in the upper 90's with the heat index over 100. I still thought it would be great to join the group of fundraisers and see if I was stronger this year since I have been consistently training and running since December. I am a lot stronger! I felt better when running and could tell my endurance has increased. I got in over 9 miles this time and felt good. It was a very warm day indeed but we took our turn running a little at a time and took breaks to rehydrate which was essential!
