Calling It a Run Would Be Generous

This was both heat and humidity, which as we saw a couple of weeks ago on race day was a bad combination. I ran 6 miles today, and calling it a run would be generous. I walked at mile 2, 3, 4, 5, and up the big hill all the way around the corner to the finish. Given that the humidity level was at 87% when I started that's probably not so bad a record. I weighed before I left and then again when I returned, and the net loss was 3 1/2 lbs. I'm not a scientist but that does seem like a lot of sweat. No worries, though, since dinner and a few snacks made up for the loss, for better or for worse.
