Comments: The good news is I was able to get my weekly goal done plus a little bit extra. The bad news is I couldn't get my goal of eight miles, much less the hoped for ten. The culprit: heat and humidity.
Realistically, the weather wasn't all that bad. Certainly not as bad as it's gonna get. But I am very much behind the curve when it comes to acclimation to the summer conditions. Hopefully, today is a strong first step to getting there.
I started off better than I expected but I had a lot of soreness over the course of the effort. The week of walking around Walt Disney World still is making itself known. And the sunburn too, of course.
