Back Outside
I’ll take hot and slow outside over a treadmill inside any day. After two and a half weeks of doing afternoon runs on the treadmill and 3 am long runs, the temperature had moderated enough for me to run outside today.
It was 90 degrees with only 40 percent humidity when I headed out the door. I knew I would not set any speed record but it was good to run and actually feel like I had covered some ground.
I knew I could not be too concerned about the time because I had not run in the heat in several weeks. But all in all it was a good run and it was good to be outside and dripping sweat!

Wow…when 90 feels cool, you know it’s hot.
Solid run. In cooler temps, you are going to be awesome!
