Running through the Tulips - April

20% humidity is too high?? Is that a typo? I thought that was desert-like?

Our humidity here is between 65-80% typically. Urgh! But we did have a cooler, rainy, overcast day at long last. By cooler, I mean 79 degrees (with a breeze) instead of 80s (with sunshine). It was very humid, but I was thrilled with the clouds and ever-so-slightly cooler temperature. Thanks to this gift from Mother Nature, I managed a 4 mile beach run for the first time in several weeks. My pace was the best for this distance I've had -- 10:25.

I was absolutely drenched when I finished, but it was the best run I've had for awhile, so I'll take it!

Yes...it is desert like. There were many times this winter when it was in the single digits..6%-9%. I can always tell when a storm is coming because I notice the change in humidity. And yes..it was 20 %...we ended up getting a little rain later on in the day.

Got in my usual 5.4 mile run yesterday morning. Felt pretty energetic, even after a decent swim before work. Treat: saw a little deer waking up from its nap.

I did a relatively relaxed run up to the intersection and back for about 5 miles and I got a bonus too: a mama fox and her kits! I was so happy to see them since I haven't seen a live fox in two or three years (just a few road kill ). I wouldn't even have noticed if mama hadn't snarled when I passed. The fuzzy little kits scrambled up the bank for cover while mom stood her ground and stared at me to let me know what would happen if I even looked at her babies crosswise.

How cute! I have seen many a solitary fox, but never kits!

Next weekend. Thanks. The good news is I found an awesome chiropractor who did an incredibly thorough exam and history today and she is going to adjust me Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday to get me straightened up for next Saturday.
