Humble, TX 8:00 pm Pace: 8:41 I'm staying in a hotel closer to the airport tonight. At work I mapped out a run that I thought would work, but the main road I chose was pretty busy and had no shoulder. So I did a few loops around the neighborhood behind the hotel. It turned out to be a nice tree-lined neighborhood and apparently it's pretty safe because on one of the loops around I ran by three police cars lined up to tell a group of kids to take their dog home. The only bad thing (besides the weather) was a couple of houses. One smelled like a backed-up septic tank and the other smelled like a dead animal. And isn't it sad that I can tell the difference? The run was pretty slow. Maybe I'm just a wus, but the heat and humidity down here are really wearing on me. It will be nice to go home for a few days. I'll take tomorrow off and then go out for a 20-miler on Saturday morning. Then back to the heat on Sunday. |
