I'm never sure what is worse up here in New England... the heat later on when the sun gets up or the humidity if you get out early. The humidity in the mornings is nearly always 100% and the dewpoint more or less the same as the actual temperature. So, sure, maybe you get out early and it's only 70, like this morning when I was headed to OTF at 5:15 AM... but the dewpoint was also 69-70. Gross!
I had a pretty good day on the treadmill today. It was just too gross to run outside between the suffocating humidity and rain, so I decided to add another day of OTF where I can at least run some in the AC. I don't have any other gym membership right now and I don't own a treadmill, so if I want to run indoors, I've got to go to class. I've been primarily a run/walk interval runner for years, but today was an endurance day that included a benchmark workout of a 12 minute run for distance (as far as you can get in 12 minutes). I ran the WHOLE time and managed to squeak out 1.091 miles! I was pretty proud of myself... I wasn't even sure if I was going to be able to do the whole 12 minutes without taking some walking breaks. I really wanted to try to get a mile, though, so I broke it up into 1 minute intervals and changed the speed every minute to keep myself distracted.
