Humidity = Fluidity

Good morning.

What a nice warm summer so far. This really is making up for last years very cool summer. Enjoyable! Might as well embrace the heat and humidity because soon, before you know it, the colder months will arrive.

Yesterday the humidity was around 95% with temps in the low 80'S. Anytime you add the humidity and temp together and the total is above 150 you need to be more careful in your activities.

This made for an interestin 11 mile run. I have to admit it was tougher than normal. It became a battle to just finish. But, I did and I was glad that I extended the run the extra 1/4 mile to hit 11 miles. This was my long run for the week. The remaining runs will focus on fast twitch.

Today is a swim and maybe a bike on trainer day.

Looking at the data and considering the heat and humidity which added fluidity my heart rate was pretty good.

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
