Today I hit the trifecta: heat, sun, and humidity. I intended to run a mile longer than I did, but it was a good thing I didn't. I ran at lunchtime and the temp was 91 degrees. Humidity said 40% but I don't know if that's correct. Maybe it felt worse because most of the run was in full sunlight and at times it felt like a sauna with the humidity rising from the pavement. I went 4 miles with walks at the mile markers. I do have to give myself some kudos, though. I really, really felt like walking during the third mile. And after I'd walked up the big hill I really, really wanted to walk the last quarter-mile. In both instances, I ran. I told myself it was because I'd lopped off that extra mile I was going to do and needed to tough it out. My little self-psychological game paid off.
