I missed my run yesterday due to a doctor appointment, but didn’t want to do a regular run today due to not being able to get out until Africa hot time (the afternoon).
By coincidence, I had never finished another 2.5K run, which would round up my total run distance and take care of that pesky 0.5K dangling off the end of it.
So that’s what I did. It was 27C, by far the warmest run so far this year, and humidity was 49%. The air felt a bit soupy. I sweated copiously. But surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as I’d feared, partly because the sun was mostly blocked by high cloud for the run, so it wasn’t beating down on me.
I don’t remember seeing any other runners.
I hit the 2.5K mark just past the intersection that splits between the main trail and the Piper Mill Trail (I started near the Jiffy John® by the parking lot), then simply turned around and walked back rather than doing a full loop around the lake. I didn’t really have the time, plus I would be walking during the peak temperature for the day.
All told, not a bad little mini-run. I still plan on doing a regular run tomorrow, in the morning, and it should be a good bit cooler.
