Cool Running

I went out for a 6.5 miler this morning.  I thought I was being really brave by wearing a cotton t shirt instead of a tank top because this time of year Florida's weather is pretty dependable: effin' hot.  Imagine my surprise when it felt really cool!  The t-shirt was a great choice.  Don't get me wrong, it was still 70 and I was DRENCHED by the end of the run, but it felt much better than I expected.

I love my 6.5 mile route, it is a giant circle (which I prefer to out and backs) through streets with tall, shade providing trees.  It is a pretty quiet route, not a lot of traffic, mostly big houses on huge lots.  I felt good, way better than I was feeling this time last year, so look out...I may actually run consistent 8:30 miles at GLR (unless I have that wretched course that begins with a 2 mile uphill).

Hoping to get in a long run tomorrow and more bridges on Monday (sans Caitlin...boo!).

Hope everyone is having a great weekend...can't wait to hear about the Flying Pigs, Michael!
