Still Hot

Here it is in late September and the high today was 96 degrees. I love Texas! I worked late last night and honestly ate too much food - a bunch of meat from Rudy's in Austin - so that I decided to run after my flight home today. I headed out at 5:30 p.m., at which point the temperature was in the low 90s. Fortunately there was a good breeze from the south and most of the run was in the shade. I also walked a minute at every mile mark as well as up the big hill. The strategy worked and I got in my 6 miles. Felt pretty tired at the start but that worked its way out as I went along. I saw signs for a race on Saturday along the path, which means I'll probably need to plan an alternate route for Saturday's long run.
