I think DC forgot that we’re supposed to have spring in between summer and winter. It was in the high 70′s/low 80′s when I left for my run tonight.
By the time I got home I was a sweaty beast.
I forgot how hard running in the heat is at first when my body doesn’t have time to acclimate to the warmth.
I still managed to crank out 4.48 miles in 43:38 averaging 9:40, but it wasn’t easy and there was lots of walking involved.
I also had a new friend along for my run last night.
Check it out!
It’s my Road ID.
It came in the mail over the weekend when I was home in PA and I’m so happy to have it. I won it in a giveaway a while back and finally got around to deciding which style I wanted and who to list as emergency contacts.
I used to carry my license with me on long runs when I wore my fuel belt, but on shorter runs I wouldn’t carry any ID, which is not a good idea. Now that my Road ID is attached to my sneaker, I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I’ll have ID with me on short and long runs.
Do you carry ID with you on runs? How do you do it?
I need to get a Road ID. I carry my phone when I run in my iFitness belt thingie but its prolly not enough.
I never really thought about it.It does make sense though. You never know what might happen on a run.
i've got my road id in my camelpak.. i use my camelpak for any run outside — it goes around the waist so i can pretty much put as much water or as little water as i want. and i always have my phone and keys, my fiance worries wayyyyy too much about me!
I've had my Road ID for years! I just dug it out of my tri bag cuz I haven't been using it this year. Cooler weather on the way!
I have the same black Road ID on my shoe! I love it and can't believe it took me this long to get one. What was I thinkinging before?
That's pretty hot, especially at night. I'm getting scared of racing in heat like that, I know my body is not used to it yet. No RoadID for me yet, but I'm pretty lazy about getting rid of the RFID race timing tags. So I'll usually have my old one on my shoe, which will have my name and age at least. Better than nothing..
I need one of these!
I bought my boyfriend a ROADID for when he bikes to work. I need to get one for myself!
I'm JEALOUS! It's been ridiculously cold here lately. Mind you, 80s sound a little hot
I love hot weather and do not mind it when running. It is actually hot in Europe as well, at least in France. Today was the hottest day this year so far and I loved it (I am sure that high school track boys and my school rugby team loved it as well since I ran in my sports bra:)) Anyway…I do not have any ID and never thought of it. I do not carry anything with me on my runs, not even on 20+milers. No water, no snack, no gels, no ID, no cell. I hate carrying things with me and I will probably stick to it, but yours ID attached to a sneaker sounds good but I will have to get at least 4 of them for each of my sneakers pairs.
I totally need to get a road ID too…I'm so bad about carrying ID with me, even though I do most (if not all) my long runs and rides by myself….you've inspired me, though. I'm pulling up roadID right now.
I'm on my 2nd road id and am gonna need a whole new plate here soon (post-wedding). It definitely gives me peace of mind.
I feel like I'm copping out but I have been slower with a higher heartrate in this 85degree wave. If you are blaming the heat I will too!
