Because it is a little cooler today and there's a slight breeze, I figured I could run at 5 pm this evening instead of waiting until 7:30 or 8 when the sun goes down.
That was an asshat idea.
The breeze I'd felt earlier wasn't blowin' on me while I ran, and the clouds parted and a single ray of sunlight beat down upon me the entire way. Granted, I only ran 2 miles, but I was sweatin' like a whore in church, and by the end of those 2 miles, I was cursing myself for my stupidity.
About once each summer I say to myself: "Self, it doesn't feel that hot out here, maybe I'll go run now." Then I have an experience like the one this evening, and I remember that experience until the next summer. Sometimes stupidity is just as cyclical as the seasons.
Sweating like a whore in church! LOVE IT. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you got it done!
wow! Humidity is something I hope doesn't plague me for at least another month! It's the worst! Still, you have to feel pretty good about getting out there. Good decisions re: the run and the pedi.
ReplyDeleteI just came back from biking - that breeze you refer to threatened to blow me over more than a few times and I'd estimate the waves were about 8 feet which is pretty high.
ReplyDeleteI tell myself it isn't that hot out quite a bit. I lie to myself often...
HA! Sorry you had to endure such heat, but it made for a good post! At least you can go cool off by the pool...
ReplyDeleteI hate humidity. That's why I usually run in the AM during the summer BEFORE noon.
ReplyDeleteI personally will use the word 'asshat' in conversation at least 10 times this week. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry the run was so doggone hot for ya.
That stinks because it really did seem "cooler" today. At least you ran.
ReplyDeleteI did leave work at 5. First time in weeks (last Wednesday didn't count since I came home and worked after Happy Hour). Too bad I was excited to get home to hop back on the computer and teach. I should have done some exercise...who am I kidding! LOL!
At least you made it out! Just think of the heat invincibility you have probably gained while living down there...Good training for a desert marathon!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny!!! :) I answered your question today!
ReplyDeleteLove love: sweating like a whore in church and your use of the word asshat....it's a too underused word for its hilarity
