I’ve started my new training program and going out to do a 4km run feels like cheating. I feel like I should be running a longer distance but after CNN told me that with the humidex I am going to be like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz and feel like I am melting today. I suddenly felt ok with the short distance and got outside to do my run before the day decided to get any hotter.
I had one of those days where I thought that my pace would be much faster than it turned out to be. I had my Latin Fever playlist on and I felt like I was waking up early while on vacation and getting a run in before my day starts. The air was thick and hot and I had to keep hydrating while I shared the pathway with fellow runners, walkers, and cyclists who wanted to get early as well. I think if the days keep feeling like this– I may have to keep doing my early runs!
