Easy run.

6:50 am, 62-70° F, 49% humidity, winds 3 NE, sunny.

Another morning of dragging my reluctant self out the door. I slept a little later than I intended to. Now my whole morning is behind, once again.

After I finished my run, I was standing on my front port stretching, and my next-door neighbor's sprinklers came on. So when I finished my stretching, I took off all my electronic devices and then went and lay down on my neighbors front lawn and let the sprinklers get me all wet. I only stayed there for a few seconds and then got up. I was just in time, because right after that the sprinklers turned off.

sprinkler ice bath = awesome!

The sprinklers were on at the track today, but only at our knees. I thought of your post a while back about only getting the legs wet and it not being effective. Each lap I tried to run a little closer to at least get my arms, but they are just too high off the ground :(

Great run this morning! the humidity is still a bit much for me, but the temp seems nearly right on - at least at the beginning. Waking up is always the hardest part!

Sprinkler systems make good neighbors.

I wonder if they were turned off by your neighbor in order to get your off their lawn. LOL

Love April's comment! It's the daily struggle with time that is so hard. Especially so early in the morning. Maybe you can tell yourself to get up early so you'll have more sprinkler time :-)
