Heat

I got to a late start this morning which was unfortunate. It was 74F and 99% humidity when I started. My run went easy, legs were fine. As the sun rose, it took an increasing toll on my energy levels. But run completion, the heat index was 95F. This is actually much hotter that anything of which I have been capable of since returning to running in 2004. Additionally, my pace did not collapse. I was really gratified.

However, I had some butterfly plants that just had to be put in the ground, so I did that next. By the time I was done with this, the sun and heat had pretty much sapped so much of my strength that a full body barbell push routine in the afternoon was not possible. 

At least the butterflies and bees will be happy. 😊
