Week Three - Tempo Run
This run features a huge transition: from 30 degrees to 80 degrees!
This week we're on vacation in Key West, FL, and during trips I try to not take a vacation from running. In fact, it's usually one of the more enjoyable times to run--- it's a great way to explore a new place.
Today was absolutely sweltering, however. Quite sunny, 80 degrees, and very humid. When I returned to the hotel, I looked like I had been swimming in my running clothes. And as my heart rate attests, it was apparently more work to run today then it was running 8 miles in the sleet on Saturday. (even though I didn't run it as a speed day per my schedule...hey, it is vacation, after all!)
And in spite of the tiring tropical conditions, I'll take the summer running weather in February when I can get it. =)
