I decided to go ahead and try to get up early to get my runs in. I figure I can do it especially on Monday's since I only have to run 3 miles in my marathon training plan.
So I set my alarm for 6a and was out the door at 6:30a! SCORE one for Lindsay! It was 68 degrees but the humidity was still high at 96%. I could feel the humidity but it wasn't oppressive.
After mile 2, I looked down at my watch and kinda stumbled a bit and ran into some bushes. I felt water on my arm and it felt NICE! Hmm, wheels are turning! So after that I kept brushing against the bushes on purpose, left and right across the path. Then eventually I was out of the path and only had trees to run under so I would raise my arms up to knock the water onto my head. Yay! At the end of the run after I was done, I actually stood under a tree and shook a branch and it rained down on me! Felt sooo nice!

Of course I was drenched when I got back to my apartment but that was with sweat. Best part of the whole run was the cool shower right afterwards. It was hardly warm. Of course my AC was on so coming into the apartment felt good.
My goal is to do this all the time until the weather starts to cool down or maybe even then I'll keep it up! I kinda liked coming home and not doing anything immediately after work! :-)
Oh and as you can see, I ran negative splits the entire time. :-) Pretty awesome!!
