If you’ve been listening to the news, the Northeast has had the hottest weather in the country. It’s been over 95 degrees (over 100 heat index) all week. It was still in the 90’s in the evening and in the 80s in the morning.

I ran 4 miles at the lake on Sun, Mon, Tues. At home, I got up early on Thursday to run.  It was still hot and I could only muster 3 miles. It was raining this morning when I got up.  At last  a cool down!!  When it stopped around noon, it was in the 70s so I decided to attempt a 5 mile run.  Yes, it was cooler but the humidity was so high, it felt like a sauna. I walked a lot  but finished it at a slow pace in 59 minutes.  I’m obviously not ready for a 10 k yet.

My evenings are busy all week so I’m going to try to get up and run several mornings before work.

Happy Running!
