Today's 6-miler wore me out more than I first suspected. It's kind of like my recent run where I walked up the big hill and felt worse than I realized. The temperature was about 84 degrees today, and I thought I managed it pretty well. I even walked in mile 5 and then again up the big hill. When I got home I went and sat in the back yard to let the wind cool me down, and then felt blah for a couple of hours. Now about three hours afterward I'm starting to recover, but that's mainly because I've done a whole lot of nothing since then. Some of it is probably due to getting used to the warmer temp and humidity again, a yearly ramp-up. And the rest is likely due to age, but I don't want to talk about that right now.
Outlook for Saturday's half-marathon is iffy at the moment. High chance of thunderstorms, and high humidity. Will be monitoring over the next couple of days, knowing that the people who predict the weather are often wrong. Seriously, worse than baseball batting averages type of wrong when you're several days out with the prediction.
