Darcy - HAZY HOT HUMID Saturday July 19

As I sit here dripping with sweat, because sweat doesn't evaporate in a sauna, I decided to post my run.

Its hot here - July in New England is known for its soupy mixture called humidity. I had gotten some reprieve the last few days from it, but it came on full steam yesterday. Today is worse, and tomorrow will prove to be a challenge as well. Weather channel says 88 now and feels like 93. Feels like 103 and sitting in a steam room to me!

The kiddos did me a favor and slept in. I got up with them and did the parent thing. Since I'm taking them to three birthday parties in the next 24 hours, I pulled the Darcy card. I turned them over to Daddy and suited up.

Ginger and I set off, only to run into a friend (and one of the birthday party hostesses). .2 miles into my run, I spent 10 minutes talking to my mommy friend. So, I reset my Nike + and started over.

I felt good, even though it was hot. Ginger wasn't so pleased! I dropped her off at the first mile - my support crew had left a water on the mailbox for me. During the second mile, I entertained the thought of going 4, but the 3rd mile proved to be a challenge, since i was starting to over heat, and my sweat was running in my eyes.

33 minutes to do 3 miles, with walk breaks at each half mile. Not bad for a HHH run!
