I had plenty of excuses to bail on this afternoon's run. Rain came through mid-afternoon and left it hot and humid. I didn't sleep well last night. I really just wanted to go smoke a cigar and chill. Despite all the reasons, I pushed myself to get out the door and run 4 miles. Even though the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than the previous run, the humidity made up for it. And yes! Rain in Texas in July. We'll take it. It was nice to see the streams with enough water in them to detect a little bit of a current. Also, I saw an armadillo out by the running path. It's odd to see them out during daylight hours. I took a sidestep toward him and he dashed for the tall grass and trees. They're destructive little critters and I was kind of hoping he'd tuck himself into an armored ball, but no such luck. Anyway, glad I made myself run today.
