Today I ran 6 miles, which used to be my regular running distance. What was regular is now my long run, at least for now. The turnaround point is by the lake at Bonnie Wenk Park and I can't remember the last time I saw it. My hope is that this becomes routine again for my regular outings. The temperature was only about 80 degrees when I headed out, another nice July day in Texas. I definitely sweated a lot with the humidity, but I've run in worse. I thought there'd be more people out. I mean, there were several runners and cyclists, I just figured it'd be more crowded. I did walk at each mile, one minute at the first and second mile marks, two minutes at three and four, and three minutes at mile five. That kept my heart rate in check and provided a little relief from the humidity. It was nice to get in a "long" run again.
