Nice and Easy AND Muggy

I attempted a 4mi run today. I was hoping that I wouldn't get halfway into it and want to stop. And it's not like my muscles ever hurt or anything. I'd just rather walk and not work up so much of a sweat. You know, take it easy. In any case, I kept telling myself to go slow. I felt like I was going slower than my actual pace. I guess I did a pretty decent job considering the humidity. I like having moisturized skin but 96% humidity is just ridiculous. It's supposed to get up to 93*. That won't feel nice with this humidity. I'm just glad I got the run out of the way. So I'm getting to the point where I actually want to run again. I don't have any plans to race this year. Maybe I'll never race. But for right now, my goal is to be how I was before. I want to go back to when 4mi was a short run. And I actually enjoyed 8mi runs. Anyway, that's my goal. Hopefully I'll get there again. Music: Afro Strut by Amp Fiddler I really enjoyed this album. This is soulful and funky, and definitely not the typical R&B crap on the radio. Activity Route: -- Elev.
