Fitness Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 38:40
Pace: 9:39 min/mi

Comments: I didn't get out until late in the afternoon knowing full well it was a mistake and, sometimes, it sucks to be right. It was uncomfortably warm -- verging on actual "hot" -- and unpleasantly humid. Add to that wind gusts even more powerful than yesterday and it was all kinds of unpleasant.

So the run was pretty much a slog the whole way but particularly the second half since it was all into the wind again. I knew my pace was going to suffer but this was pretty much an acclimation run for the upcoming hot weather. In that regard, I can't complain about the effort.
