My goal was 11 but I was only able to get 10 miles done this morning.  My husband graciously got up with me at 5am and hit the road with me around 5:30.  He rode the bike and carried our water.  I decided to run out from the house 5.5 miles then run back.  It was extremely humid, even at 5:30am.  I could tell my pace was affected by the humidity and the late night last night (got to bed around 11:30) but I wasn't too concerned about the pace, I just wanted the distance.

 Around mile 9 I started getting cold chills and I didn't feel quite right so I walked for a few minutes.  I started up again and went to 10 miles and started getting chills again so I decided 10 was enough for today.  I walked the last mile home.  

Do you think I was getting chills because I was getting too hot?  I felt like I was drinking plenty of water (thanks to my wonderful water boy).

getting chills in this heat & humidity after running 9 miles sounds scary and gives me the chills.

I'm not sure about the cause, but it could be some kind of heat exahustion thing going on. Sucks when 530 isn't even early enough to beat the heat.

it might be one of those runs you look back on during the marathon and say, "at least it's not like that!"
