I suppose that AM humid is still better than PM hot, but in all honestly, I'd rather avoid either. Today was 6 miles (whoo! Not 4!). Instead of going over to the golf course neighborhood, I went over to Stephanie and David's instead. No RSE, but I did hear the dogs in the house. Also, the woman with the chihuahuas in the bicycle basket was out this morning too. Not sure if she recognized me.
She did say hi, but that's because pretty much everyone in Florida says hi to you when you run. I even had people wave hi from inside vehicles. This ain't MA on the friendliness quotient, I can promise you that much.
It was a relatively nice day, I just would have preferred less humidity. But what can you do? At least the sun was not horrible. And I remembered to put out the garbage!
According to the schedule, I am supposed to run a 5k on Saturday, September 25. I was hoping to be able to do the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Ranch Run, which takes place in the golf course neighborhood, but it's too early this year. However, I found a pretty good race instead: the Lowry Park Zoo's Zoo Run Run. I get to run around the zoo! And I get free admission for the rest of the day. From my experience running around the zoo is not the best course for a PR since you wind up running around a lot of tight corners that cost you time. A couple of years ago, I did a number of 5ks throughout the fall and was down to about a 10:40 mile split. The zoo run, in contrast, I had an 11:45. However, I got to run around and look at the animals, which is much, much more fun than a run could be otherwise. Zoo Run Run it is!
