Alone

I saw only one other person out today, a guy walking his dog. Which is odd, since the temperature is several degrees lower than earlier this week. Not that it's cooled off THAT much, since it was 98 and heat index 105 while I ran 4 miles. Anyway, I think it turned out to be a good run. As usual, I walked at the mile markers. The third mile was the toughest since I ran with the breeze at my back, although I think the hollow around the lake tends to throttle any wind. I considered walking a few times since it felt a little stifling but kept the pace down and made it.

Also today, I hate to admit this, I finally changed the display on my Apple Watch to show Current Pace instead of Average Pace. I'd done it before but for some reason it switched back shortly after and I've never gone back to change it. I do have to say Apple doesn't make it easy to figure out how to modify the display, but after searching the Internets for a few minutes I finally found what I was looking for. Much better to see that on my run and make sure I'm not going too fast in the heat. Yeah, like that's possible.
