Lämmchen's Workout Thread

[tango]

We let our membership expire for a year or so. There is construction going on and it's become a hassle getting there and back.

That's a shame.

I got my regular walk in today. We went to a local craft fair, then went to pick up some wood for my lathe, and then for a bite to eat and a beer with the friend who cut down the tree I harvested. I hadn't seen him for a while, so it was good to catch up.

Going for a walk afterwards felt like a bit of a slog with a belly full of burger, but I got my steps in.

It was 60 when I woke up this morning!! And the humidity wasn't 99% anymore LOL So I turned off the air conditioning, opened the windows and went to do some loops in my neighborhood before going out for the morning and early afternoon to do a lot of needed shopping. I'm so glad I got to get outside because it's going to be really hot again this week so I'll have to do my indoor workouts, which I don't want to do. I would rather hike but can't breathe when it's bad outside.

This week is meant to be unpleasantly hot here too. This morning I got a run in and it was nice to be able to run without my heart rate going out of control on the hills. Maybe I'll get early runs in for most of the rest of the week too. That would be nice, keep the mileage up without the battle of taking on enough water to stay hydrated.

It's also nice because when it's cooler my pace is very noticeably faster. It gets frustrating needing as many walk breaks as I end up needing in the heat and humidity.

It was so cool again this morning that I went to the trail to get a 4 mile hike in!! Yay!

I got a run in before it warmed up. Then it felt like something of a workout carrying bags of tools through my daughter's house to fix some stuff for her.
