The odds were against me.
I didn't get to bed until kind of late. Because I was looking at the wrong clock and didn't realize just how late it was... HERE. And then, come 5:45 a.m. when I was looking at the correct clock, I refused to believe it.
So I ignored it! That's why we have afternoons, right?
Except that come afternoon, I felt those odds again. It was really the first time I actually FELT the odds, too. After my presentation. When I walked DOWN the steps leading off of the stage and back into the audience. Yes, only THEN did I finally REALLY feel yesterday's Kick-off Run.
But still... Even though the odds were against me - well, probably BECAUSE the odds were against me - I went out for a run this afternoon. Despite the fact that I was not finished tweaking my next two presentations. And the fact that it was still raining a little bit. Despite the fact that the rain meant the humidity had reached 100%. And despite the fact that I 100% HATE humidity...
Yes, despite all odds, I ran 4 miles this afternoon. In St Petersburg, FL.
(4 miles RECOVERY - 35:48 - 8:58/mile pace.)
Now if only I could find a way to beat the heat!!!!

I read a good article in runners world with one tip that I had not thought of. Freeze a soaked bandana and tie it around your neck. Something to do with the big arteries in the neck. I don't like the heat much either.
Hey nice work Nic! I'm all about hating the humidity. I think we should start a club or something for all humidity haters. hehe
Keep up the good work...
EWwwwwwwwwwwww. Humidity.
Way to go out there and show Mother Nature who's the boss (and it's NOT Tony Danza).
You always impress me, Nic. You'll get that BQ here in Chicago...I just know it!
