Comments: The Sunday run really did a number on me. Between the pollen and sunscreen in my eyes, my whole face swelled up. The sunburn on my chest got unbearable. And, best of all, I felt like a sinus infection was coming on.
Tuesday was better but work commitments and inclement weather overwhelmed my day. I didn't get back out there till today and it was as humid and awful as I expected.
Given the situation, my goals were modest. I got my four miles and the pace wasn't horrific. Still, I need to get acclimated to the heat and start producing decent runs soon.
