Humid (Sweaty) Run

I was able to drag myself out of bed at 5:15 this morning and went for a run.  I put the leash on Althea and told Diego we would be back soon.  I ran out of the neighborhood, down the half mile long sidewalk (why are there not more sidewalks?) and then ran back into the neighborhood.  My wife ran into a nearby subdivision and she said it was nice with a little hill, so I decided to see what it was about.  It was a simple neighborhood with huge houses.  There were no sidewalks there, but at this hour it was not busy with cars.  We did pass a guy walking his dog with no leash and I grew worried, but the dog didn’t seem to even notice us.  Either that or he (10 pounds of dog, if that) didn’t want anything to do with my 70 pound German Shepherd/Husky mix.

We finished the run by heading back into my neighborhood and took a nice 1 mile or so cool down walk.  This is about the time I realize that my shirt was completely soaked with sweat.  I had noticed that I had to keep wiping my brow to keep the sweat out of my eyes, but I thought that was because I decided to leave my hat at home.  Apparently it was close to 100% humidity and I could tell now.

After a near hit with someone backing out of their driveway and not paying attention to the guy walking his dog, we just headed back home.  Another 3.1 miles down.  I will add the stats at a later time as apparently Garmin is having some issues with their system.  Here it is.

I will try to get a swim in sometime, but it is hard as always because I have to work late tonight :( and tomorrow my wife is working 12 hours.  I will play it by ear.
