got up earlier to beat the heat. I know I missed the worst of it, but it was still icky hot. 79-82 degrees with 77-67% humidity. the first #'s were at the beginning of the run, the 2nd numbers were toward the end of the run. there was a breeze that I got to enjoy for 1/2 the run, and a nice bunch of shade too. It was the last mile stretch that had no shade or breeze, with the bright sun blasting down on me that was the worst. But I just thought, doing this now will make me stronger in the long run. I keep telling myself these things.
no beavers or dams today. just a big loop that goes around the general area I live in. I don't run it often, but I think I should do it more. it has long gradual slopes. not really hills, but it's upward running for a good distance. I'm sure the down is there too, but I'm not noticing it as much as I notice the up.
Gotta shower- I've got a lunch date at chubby's tacos today :-) |
