It was about 92 degrees with a cool breeze, but the sun was hot. It was much nicer in the shade. I thought twice about going for a run because the sun was bright and beating down on me as I walked outside. What was I thinking? It was a gorgeous day out. Summers here are easily in the triple digits, even without considering the heat index.
I ran a long run yesterday, so I only wanted to run an easy 3. I should really have taken the day off, but tomorrow is my long day + client, and it's difficult to get a run in before I have to pick the boys up from daycare. I would prefer not to leave them there until it closes.
I ran contnuously:
1/2 mile warm up
1 mi @ 9:24
1 min jog
1 mi @ 9:17
1/2 mile cool down
I ended up pushing myself a little instead of an "easy" run, but it wasn't a hard workout either. I guess yesterdays 6.6 mile run was just the break I needed to push through. My legs were a little tired, but my abdominal area and lower back were not sore. It was a pleasant surprise. (Since I had my back surgery and c-section, I have had some constant aches and pains.)
