I just got back from my 8.5 mile run. It is beautiful out, clear sky, no wind - but muggy. The temperature is only 74 . . . gorgeous . . . right . . . well the humidity is 85% . . . so it is really MUGGY. When I got up - no kidding it was 67 and the dew point was 67, which means 100% humidity . . . the air couldn't hold any more moisture. OK - even though I am married to a meteorologist . . . I just don't get it. Shouldn't rain be falling from the sky when the humidity == 100%. Yikes!!!!
My run went pretty well - I finished at a 9:51 pace and only took a couple of little walking breaks. I am home for a short stretch - eat a little food and then set off on my bike. Yesterday I biked 38 miles and today I did
plan to do the same route - 35 miles. For a grand total of 73 over the two days . . . which is still 2 short of what I will do in one day next weekend. YIKES!!!!! :-) This is the last weekend before the MS150 bike ride . . . so these are my last longish rides.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Thanks for commenting on my blog! How did I miss that you are from Mad-Town. I miss WI (yup, I'm a Wisconsinite). You have quite a day planned. Good job on the run. I hope the ride goes well. Let me know if you get an iFitness pouch!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well with your training! Impressive! I can't wait to hear about your MS150 ride :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries...I'm taking the number of rest days suggested by my PT. He said that I can run less long, but more often...up to 6 days a week. So, that's what I'm doing :) Thanks for looking out for me!
Wow that a lot of biking after running. My legs would be jello! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWe are most likely having the same kind of weather you are here in Minnesota! Yes, it sucks! I am so tired of the heat and humidity and can't wait for nicer cooler days:)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both your running and biking! I am currently shopping for a bike:) I am looking forward to reading more of your blog!
