This is the kind of week that makes me want to move to Alaska for the summer. This has been the hottest week of the summer in Tennessee. For us, temperatures have been in the high 90's and humidity has been at least 40% during the day.
My alarm is set for 4:50 in the morning. I chose this as my run time because it was the coolest part of the day and kids are still asleep. This morning I got up for my run and checked the weather. I have a nifty app on my phone that shows the temperature, humidity, and rain chance on a nifty graph. (I'm embracing my nerdyness fully!) According to the app, it was 80 degrees and 88% humidity. I had an internal debate about whether it was worth running or not. I ran just because I'm a glutton for punishment, or something like that.
This was the type of morning when the birds and the bunnies look at you and decide it's not worth running because that would take way too much effort. At one point during the run, I wasn't sure if it was sweat running down my face or if I was beginning to foam at the mouth and drool. I came back from my run drenched. Usually, after a stretching cool down, I go upstairs to take a shower. Today, the stairs look mighty daunting. Instead, I’m enjoying the coolness of my wooden floor. I wonder how much of my day I can spend laying on it.
Stay cool everyone!
