Another Hot Run

Almost 90 degrees by the thermometer and mid-90's by the heat index, this afternoon was sunny and hot again. Yesterday I almost left without a water bottle, and was glad I took one with me. Today there was never a question about it. I froze some water in my hand-held bottle. By the time the run was over it was completely thawed and becoming lukewarm. But I'll take it. It's MUCH better than running when the temperature is in single digits.

Today I ran 6 miles, nice and easy. That's the only way to do it on days like this. I was grateful for a little bit of shade on Shoal Creek Parkway. And even more grateful for the air conditioning when I arrived home. Whew!
