Muggy Monday

[ratherawkward]

After a few days off, went out at 6am for what turned into only 6k, rather than the 8 I was aiming for. I felt like I was running through soup! There was a lot more walking involved than usual, but at least I got it done.

[Hammie]

10k done in beautiful weather

Good morning!

A great workout this morning. 10.5K with 6x 250 meter hills, then I headed to a flat area and did 8X 30s strides. Then I headed to the fitness room to do some stretching and strength work. Probably not enough though...

[scrumhalfgirl]

actually felt un-muggy for the first time in days! easy 7.5 km done before the tough return to work after a week off.

[Jogger Barbie]

Muggy for sure, with more rain and/or thunderstorms to come over the next few days. Sigh... It would be nice to have a few days with no rain so that everything would have a chance to dry out a little bit. Rain is good for the lawn and the garden, but I'm not sure they really need THIS much water! Anyway, today was an indoor work out day, 20 minutes on the elliptical followed by upper body weights. I need to get back into the routine of doing weights and core work at home.

Busy day at work so that's all I've got! Have a good day, everyone.

A nice swim this morning- I felt fast because the pool was 25 yards instead of 25 metres, so 10% shorter. When I convert to real units I did about 1600m in 45 min.

[RA.]

The heat wave broke here, so I got out for my long run this morning. 8k in an hour with lots of walk breaks, but it went better than expected given my lack of running lately. 23C felt much better than the 33C yesterday!

[tgilpin]

got out for a nice 10 km run this morning - it was humid...but got it done!

[runJrun]

10km planned for lunch and depending how energetic I am feeling after work will likely go to the cardio kick class Three more days of work until vacation!

[jgore]

Brutally humid this morning. It was like breathing water. Ran for an hour anyway. Now to find some air-conditioned place to get some work done.

[JoaniB]

Taking a break today for the sake of my knee after this weekend.

[Avis]

Yes, the mugginess really did me in today, too. I did just over 4k in the warm, soupy air.

What is, "This morning's hilly 18K trail run?"

I know its not (B) because title does not conform to the mandatory "Semi-witty phrase: Dry description of presentation" pattern of academic talks

Did 1500 m at Kits Pool this morning, it was so gorgeous I didn't want to come to work... But I did

Looking at my CV, I found only one example: "Atoms' Eve: Is nuclear energy in our future?" Maybe most theoretical physicists aren't witty enough to try for even a veneer of levity.

A terrible pun counts for two.

12 Km. Very nice here in the early morning.

Best presentation ever... A pathologist I worked for did a short, rather vague presentation for the weekly departmental "Completed Case" review, then asked the attendees to identify the tissues they were looking at, the possible disease, and a treatment. They all made guesses; none were correct. They were slides made of earthworms with contact dermatitis. (It actually wiped out a large business that provided worms for fishing. Not only that, they were "Red Wigglers, the Cadillac of Worms".)

Is that a real thing? I thought that was just an ad on WKRP.

Red Wigglers are for real. They're the type most commonly used for vermicomposting, at least around here. (At least, that's what I was told when I had a worm-bin setup a few years ago.)

I know red wigglers are real - it was the Cadillac of Worms part that I thought was fictional.
