acclimatizing

just to say: i ran in the humid humidity yesterday. it was humid. it was mostly very flat, on campus and environs. it was humid. part of the time it was raining, occasionally it was pouring, mostly it was just like pawing through a wall of moisture. it was not easy. in fact, it was hard. have i mentioned that it was humid? i literally looked at mile 1 like i had jumped in a pond. IT WAS HUMID.

but i ran 4.3 miles in like 38 minutes. i pushed myself more than a little, and i made myself talk out loud to keep breathing, and i carried a water bottle full of ice. zero soreness today. this is good! and humid.

as i ran i told myself i would run a little further next time it's so humid, and the acclimatization process will continue.

also: going to run an 8k this friday evening. there's a national strawberry festival in this little town an hour away? anyway, i'm going to go run and then strawberries. and evening is my best running time, soo i am pumped.

and i hope it is LESS FUCKING HUMID.
