4 in 100

The thermometer hit the century mark today, although the humidity was down a bit from where it soared to last month. That meant even though the air temp was 100, the heat index topped out at 105. As opposed to about four weeks ago where the air temp hit only 96 or 97 but heat index went all the way up to 111 or more. I'll take today, thank you. I went 4 miles and did the one-minute per mile walk thing, plus an extra 30 seconds on account of the 100-degree heat. That meant at mile three I walked 3 1/2 minutes. At the end of the first mile I thought maybe I didn't need the extra half-minute but as usual, I'm glad I did from the beginning since it paid off later. Of course, then I came home and mowed for a little additional exercise. Smart? I don't know about that.
