It's a Jungle Out There
Mental note - when it's 78 degrees with 100,000% humidity, DO NOT run at 12:45 pm. Ooops. :)
I didn't have to work today since I work Saturday and so I slept in. Boy did that feel good. Really good. When I finally woke up around 8 am it was pouring. My body felt all stiff and bunged up too so I decided I would eat breakfast and run later. Later turned out to be about 5 hours later. Oh well. I did get a lot done in those 5 hours at least. :)
It's so humid here! It keeps raining off and on. I did get to run during a dry patch though. I went down to the trail where it was a tad bit cooler but felt like a jungle with all the greenery and bugs around. Truthfully though, if I had worked and ran after work at 4 pm it wouldn't have been much better. Plus, for some odd reason, running in the heat doesn't seem to bother me as much as it used to. I NEVER would have run at 12:45 pm in the middle of the summer before. Today I didn't think twice about it.
Anyway, I ran 6 miles total. I ran out to the 3 mile marker easy (24:02) and then turned around and picked it up some (23:03 back). At mile 4 I threw in 6x20 second striders to get the legs moving. Although my body feels a little beat up, I felt strong running. Good deal!
Today I trialed my new Lock Laces. Let me tell you - these are the ticket! I'm talking T2 in under 1 minute. In triathlon it's all about the wetsuit, aerobars and lock laces. :) The first two are $$$$ but luckily the laces only set me back $6. :)
Have a great day everyone!
