As I was running and suffering today, I realized a few things about running at sea level in a coastal location.

  • Sweating this much sucks!
  • It's so humid I can't breathe!
  • How can these people wear pants and shirts with sleeves???

And a personal note: I've decided that I do not like running on flat terrain. I found a 112-stair stairway up from the beach and did 5 repeats on it. That made me feel a little better.

I think it's kind of for the same reason I don't like riding flats: when you are running or riding uphill, it's easier to give yourself permission to go slower.
