I run most every morning. I run early -before dawn- to avoid the heat. Today I did not. Midday, I decided that I should go for a run. I reasoned, "I can run midday, (in late August, in southern Nevada) because...... A- I grew up here; I am used to the heat. And.....B- I am a runner. I am in good shape. I've even run a few marathons......So C- I can run a few short miles midday in the sun."
I further reasoned, "It will be just like when I watch Luke's mid-day football games.... only running." (Yeah, I can't believe I didn't see the flaw in THAT reasoning.)
It turns out that I'm not so good at logic. In this case, If A is true and B is true, it does NOT follow that A+B (or C) is true.
My logic was fatally flawed. And I don't use that term lightly. I thought I was going to DIE. But I lived to tell the tale.
I will NOT be running midday for some time (at least not until it is under 90 degrees outside.)
