Daily Run: National Running Day
Time of Day: 6:35 AM
Weather: 75*, 94% humidity, sunny
Duration: 1 hour 8 minutes 55 seconds
Distance: 8 miles
Average Pace: 8:37/mile
Notes: You know, if it’s going to be 94% humidity, it might as well go for the gold and be 100%. It’s not like my sweat is evaporating anyway. I could not believe how sweaty I was after I stopped.
Weather aside, I actually had a very good run this morning on National Running Day. There were quite a few people out this morning and I wonder if they were celebrating too. I had a tragically slow first mile because I didn’t powerwalk to warm-up beforehand and I didn’t have any fast mile splits, but overall I felt good. Also, I made it a “long run” day. 8 miles this week, maybe 9 next week or two weeks from now. As long as I continue to feel good, I will add a mile every 1-2 weeks.
Lately I’ve been working out twice a day. Granted, sometimes the second “workout” is walking two miles on the treadmill while reading a magazine, so that probably doesn’t count. Still, it’s not like I’m trying to exercise twice a day, it’s just happening because so many of my clients are out on vacation, etc. I have big gaps at work that need to be filled. I think tonight I will do Pilates. On one hand, I love that being “bored at work” means I get more exercise. On the other hand, I don’t get paid unless I’m training clients.

yay for 8!!
i wish i could walk on the TM or exercise while i was bored at work, instead of sitting here staring at the computer screen hoping someone blogs
This Houston humidity is quite disgusting…
ewww for that humidity. but if it was 100% it would be raining…and i hate the rain
Not having deal with high heat and humidity almost makes it worth it to suffer through the winter in WI.
I’m about to go soon to participate in National Running Day as well! Nice work on the 8 miles- even in the crazy humidity! I think the air’s pretty thick here as well, but I’m hoping it won’t be too rough…
or if it could just go ahead and rain… that’d be excellent. i’m just so glad you are almost completely “back”. i know you are even more happy about running again.
