Hot August Miles

[rocknrollgirl]

I ended up getting part of my run in yesterday. I had an interval workout to do and mde it about 3/4 of the way through between rounds of storms. I could hear thunder off in the distance and was trying to outrun it. Come to find out it was a tornado warning. In NJ. Go figure.

I'm a cold weather runner. While I can sort of adjust to riding in the heat, I can't seem to get past 70 or so degrees with running. In light of that, I hadn't gone for a run since Good Friday, if memory serves. It's been a crazy hot summer....

But I started dipping my toe in the water again over the last few days. I ran 2 miles on last Friday and again yesterday on the dreadmill. I've continued to battle some occasional hamstring and hip pain over the summer, so as modest at 2 miles sounds, I was pleased that nothing hurt too badly. Given those issues, I don't aspire to much more than 4-5 miles a few times a week, but I hope I'm off to a good start.
