A Normal Run

I went this morning when the temperature was 85 degrees, as opposed to this afternoon and 95 degrees. A nice breeze from the south helped on my 4-mile out and back. Not as much shade in the late morning as I'd hoped, and the lack of clouds didn't help in that regard. Still, it was a good run with walks at the mile markers. Overall, felt good although the heart got a little bit high the last few miles. As I've said before, I'm not sure the reading is entirely accurate since I usually don't feel ill effects. I think the additional bpm in this case are due to the allergies I've been battling since last week. Yesterday I felt very lethargic in the afternoon and evening. Today is a little better and exercise usually helps in that regard. I'd give just about anything to not have allergies. In lieu of a Faustian bargain, the suffering continues.
