I got up early enough this fine Saturday morning to run before it gets too hot. That also means running before having any coffee, which is good because now that I'm home I can sit on the patio and enjoy several cups without having to rush. The temperature was in the upper 70s but as usual, the humidity percentage was about the same number. I took the easterly route today, with the variety of going on the north side of the neighborhood around the pond to remain longer in the shade of the trees along the path. This is how today's run went: ran first mile, walked a minute. Ran the second mile, walked to the end of the bridge and back to add another quarter-mile or so to the total. Ran the third mile, walked about three minutes. Ran to the bottom of the big hill, walked up it. Ran the final third of a mile or so and walked the couple of blocks home to cool off. All told, about 4.5 miles, including the walking. Thought about going longer but decided a little over an hour of exercise would be enough without adding an extra half-mile. I'd say overall it's been a good week in the running department. Not outstanding, but pretty good given the heat and humidity.
