Night run - So humid...

I just finished a 6.417km running that lasted about 0hh:32mm:33ss !

Since I skipped so many workouts this month already, I couldn't find any excuse to skip this one on Saturday. I did try though, because I felt really lazy. When I don't feel like running, surprisingly it's often my fastest runs, most likely because I want to get it done faster. But I knew I couldn't do that this time, or I would quickly crash. So instead of the pace, I tried focusing on my cadence: faster, shorter steps! And even though it was far from perfect, it was a little higher than usual, and closer to the target range. And somehow, it helped taking my mind off the fact I didn't want to run!

Nothing special about the route, just local streets, and never too far from home, so I could make it shorter if I wanted. But in the end, 4 miles is about what I had in mind. It was pretty hot, even after 9pm, with about 80F or 27C. But the worst was the humidity! Official reports say it was around 80% but I'm pretty sure it was more. Less than 2 minutes into the run, I was already drenched in sweat, and it only got worse from there. Not sure but I think the sweat is the reason my watch HRM couldn't even measure my heart rate.

I need to do better to finish this month, but I am not sure about this week, it's supposed to be really hot and humid again. We'll see how it goes.

If you finsihed 6km in one run which you actually didn't want to do, than 28km in a month wasn't really a lot !LOL

Yeah well, even when I don't want to run, I still don't like suiting up for less than 5k !lolz
It's only half a month, maybe I can catch up. Probably not...
Have a great day, !ALIVE

Same for me, Preparing and often going to the place where one wants to run takes more time than running 5km, so I also don't like it most of the time. It's differen when it's a competition or a control on the track though. !PIZZA !CTP
