running recently?

No way.

We're in week three of major-heat-here-to-stay, it seems. Yes, I know. It's Florida, and it's supposed to be hot. But we've been just shy of 100 degrees daily. I've lived here a long time, and I know Florida heat. This is exceptional.

Finally, I manned up and went running two nights ago. I quit after two miles, because it was still nearly ninety degrees at 9:30pm.

I will perservere as much as possible. Otherwise, I'll pick back up "serious" running when I reach the cool shores of Great Britain.

Family, graduation, upheaval. Those things can keep you from your running schedule. So can the dreaded spike to average temperatures for the southeast. 90 degrees across the board the past week.

I'm no wimp but when it's 90 with high humidity at 5:00pm, I can't usually take it. I want to live.

Anyway, I finally managed to go after work yesterday, finishing just before a torrent of rain. I knew it'd be rough after a week's absence, but man! my body has the shortest memory ever.

When I started, my legs were like, "Oh, we're still doing this?"
