Hope To Run Again Before End Of The Year

I just wanted to keep it at an easy pace today.  For the most part it was.  Every so often I would notice I was pushing it, so I would back off.  But once I was done I realized I was pretty tired and would have really had to have slowed down if I had continued to run longer.  This was a "hilly-er" route than I usually run.  Still nothing someone from a mountainous area would even think twice about.  Just speed bumps to them I bet.

Semi - planned day off.

Set for my run and there was only a little drizzle.  Became a light rain by the end of mile 1.  Kept on raining through the duration of the run.  It helped keep me cool and felt good.  But the new shoes I had bought 3 hours earlier got soaked..and a little dirty.

Hit "the wall" just as the Garmin flipped mile #10.  But everything was good before that.  Anyone got any statistics on the effect of rain soaked shoes during a run?  I'd like to use it as an excuse anyway for struggling that last mile.

Today I felt real good, that's why I feel so bad about my run.

Because of the rain I went to the gym for an 8 mile run on the treadmill.  I was feeling good...for the treadmill.  I had run 3.8 miles.  Then a fuse blew and it lost power.  The manager had just stepped out and a new employee was the only one working.  By the time she found the fuse box and reset it I had lost time.   I managed another 2.5 miles before I had to leave.  Now I got to get ready for work.

84f out and the humidity was higher than The Empire State Building.  So I ran 2 to the gym.  6 on the treadmill.  Then 2 back home.  Lots of sweat....everywhere !!!

To the Gym -

Treadmill - 6 miles - 43:25 (7:14 avg.)

Back Home -

Same workout as yesterday.  Humidity is still outrageous.  It is amazing how much sweat the human body can produce.
