This Sunday, I’ll be making my way to Jackson Park to run the Chicago Half Marathon.

I’ve had a stupid, stupid summer when it comes to running in the heat. Time and time again I finish a long run with a migraine and keep asking myself “why?” I’ve got answers: combine very sweaty human with heat and humidity and you get a serious loss of fluids and electrolytes. Luckily, I’ve learned to love me some GU and I’m pretty confident in the weather forecast. 79 degrees for the win.
