Cross Training

Today;s schedule was a 4 mile run which I did yesterday.  Today I cross trained.  I did my runner's yoga.  I also helped Jim pick grapes in his vineyard.  This required walking back and forth from the house many time.  Need to get the camera.  Better put bug spray on.  I need my gloves.  It was another hot day.  I put on my floppy sun hat.  Then I started asking myself.  Is a hat cooler or a visor?  I always run with a visor in the summer and a hat in the winter.  I have myself convinced that with the visor my head is cooler because it gets more air and the heat can get out.  But does the dark hair absorb more heat?  I have lots of hair to protect my scalp from sunburn.  In the winter a hat keeps my head warmer so in the summer it probably will keep it warmer also.  Many people run with a hat in the summer.

Two week weather forecast for St. George Utah on race day:  low 56 high 82.

Race is two weeks from today.
