Moving Break

Last week I helped The Parents move and I have to admit it kicked my butt. I helped on Thursday, my normal running day, and it wore me out. The temperature was about 90 degrees, not too bad, but the humidity was high. That night I woke up in the middle of the night and my back was killing me. We finished moving them on Friday and I knew it was wise to skip running on Saturday as well. I thought about running yesterday, which was a Monday, but we were up late Sunday night at Shakespeare in the Park and I felt like dog crap all day. Today, though, I was ready to get back to it. The temp was a mild 83 degrees and a few big clouds covered the sun for about 2/3 of the 6 miles at various intervals. Since the weather was cooler than last week and I was mostly running in shade I went the whole distance without walking and finished at a 9:40 pace. It was nice to get back into the groove.
