Good news: I wore my shiny new OR running shirt, and it was nice to have a much lighter top for a run. It’s orange, but I didn’t wear my orange hat because I am naturally resistant to color coordination.
Not really good news: It was hot today (31C) but even though humidity was reported to be 43%, it felt a lot higher, with the air having that warm, soupy quality that saps all of your energy away. I did actually run a bit on the way back, but only in short bursts, since it was pretty gross. I think I made the right call.
As a result, the stats are all tuned down appropriately, but I still think it was a good effort. If sweating is a valid measure, it was one of my best efforts this year.
