If I think I might actually run the Malibu Marathon again this fall, I feel like I need to get my running in check now (no decisions have been made yet, but it's on the table). I run between 15-20 miles a week and my long runs are from 8 to 10 miles. But that is only half marathon levels, not marathon. With the weather heating up, every step is about to get harder.
Today has been the hottest run this year. It was hot, muggy, and I must have sweat out at least a gallon! Pretty disgusting. But I killed 2 birds with one stone and deep conditioned my hair at the same time. Several months ago, I discovered all of the amazing uses of coconut oil on Pinterest. I've been using it as a moisturizer in place of body lotion during the winter months and once tried to put it in my hair as a deep conditioner on a long run. I guess the temperature was too cold outside because when I got home, my hair was like crunchy sticks, not the flowing locks I had envisioned. Much better results in the boiling heat and humidity. I'll definitely keep this up during the summer months. The bigger question is, can I keep the miles up?
Miles logged: 10.75
