humid 10

i started my long run today at 8:30.  when i stepped outside, the first thing i noticed was the humidity!  this officially means i will be non stop sweating until october 31st!  ugh.  thank God for this amazing stuff.  i didn't go to the greenway as i had hoped and instead ran the hilly route. i had a great ten mile run.  i felt so good, strong, and free the first 6 miles and kept a great pace.  came by the house and refilled my fuel belt bottles and noticed my shins were just dripping with sweat.  great.  headed back out for the last four miles of the run. my legs were so tired the last two miles.  i kept wishing for a flat route.  i survived and made it back with even better timing than my 10 mile run from 4 weeks ago on a flat route.  i'm encouraged and am seeing signs of progression.

Yep, it's humid here, too. I keep telling myself that I'm glad that at least I'm not freezing!
