Humidity

This is going to be another 90 degree heatwave kind of day. Already at 6:34 a.m. it is beyond muggy for track Tuesday. My 5 a.m runs seems so frosty compared to this. I’m extra tired because I took a benadryl at 1 a.m. because the mosquito bites on my foot and in between my toes were killing. It was a scratch attack and it had to stop. I popped the pill and went back to sleep and got up 4 hours later. Clearly that wasn’t enough time. I got my ass moving.

Today for trackworkout we ran for 18 minutes, following the bolt group. I was running about a 8:45min pace. In this humidity and heat I had to stop and hydrate. I just wish I had music with me because running around a track for almost two milers is killer and not in a good way.

There are several people who are getting ready for Chicago and New York. All that marathon training in the summer. No way. Some signed up for an ultra and they will be running for 8 hours.

I am my own kind of runner. After today I was so done. But I got it done.
