Hello, Texas

Today was a typical summer day in Texas. No surprise. 98 degrees, heat index 102. That doesn't sound so bad regarding the gap between air and humidity, but it did feel a bit like a sauna. Plus, I'm trying to cut back on snacks and didn't have anything mid-afternoon, so my stomach felt kind of aggravated at me when I started out. Not really nauseous or queasy, just like it expected to be fed and I hadn't done it. That feeling disappeared once I got going, though. I ran 4 miles, with varying degrees of walks at each mile marker. At the first mile I walked a minute, but at the second that walk lasted until I got back in the shade, probably about 3 1/2 minutes. The third walk was probably about the same. I've had a good string of regular running going, but it's going to end this weekend since I'll be going to baseball games. I'm sure I'll get in plenty of walking to make up for the lack of a run.
