Steamy Friday
Steamy Friday
Wow- super muggy this morning. Did an easy paced 11K- on road up to the conservation area, then trails, then home on the road again. Lost a fair bit of blood to mosquitoes. Was completely drenched in sweat when I got home.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.
Re: Steamy Friday
Morning!
Run commute! 16K @ 6:24 pace. I stuck to the main roads for the most part, as there was a chance of thunder and lightning, so I didn't want to be far from a transit route. In the end I got the run in. A bit wet at the end, but quite refreshing actually!

Re: Steamy Friday
And here I thought running on the treadmill would be less muggy than running outside... Ha! I was wrong! It wasn't as warm inside as outside, but it was just as humid. I was drenched (still am, even after my shower). 5K done in 29 minutes.

Re: Steamy Friday
Took the day off today, (late night because of Alice Cooper concert which was awesome...can't believe how good he performs still). Ran 7 miles outside this morning in the light rain...awesome.
Re: Steamy Friday
That Alice Cooper concert sounds fantastic! I'm heading off for some kind of run or run/walk in the steam bath. I'll go to the park, but I'm betting the mosquitos and no-see-ums are going to chase me out pretty fast. But it's either that or be broiled running on the asphalt. Wish me luck!

Re: Steamy Friday
For sure, muggy out there this morning during my 13 km run, but I did appreciate the cloud cover and the little bit of rain during the last 2 or 3 km. The temps and humidity are going to be brutal this weekend (at least by my not-a-summer-lover standards) so I'm thinking of doing my long run on Saturday night. After spending a good chunk of the day in the office tomorrow. Woohoo - do I know how to party on the weekend, or what?!?
Have a good day, everyone, and a better weekend. Good luck to anyone who may be racing!

Back from a dripping run in the park of 5.25k. At least the bugs left me alone, and there was a bit of breeze.

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise...it's a consistent reward for victory!

Just 5K in the NCC Greenbelt for me today. Considering the temp and humidity, it actually felt pretty good. My shirt was soaked when I was done though.
