Early Morning Five Miles To Avoid The Heat
After yesterday’s tough run in the sun, I decided to get up early and run a steady five miles before the sun had chance to warm things up too much. The temperature at 5:45am was still almost 80°F, but much more manageable than both runs on the weekend and actually very enjoyable.
I ran several loops around a local park, each one just over a mile in length, and it was great to watch the sun rise a little higher in the sky every time I made a turn to the east. The sun rise was quite spectacular and helped take my mind off the oppressive heat and humidity, and before I knew it I was heading for home to get showered up and ready for work.
Enjoyable workout and a great start to the day….

Steve Definitely the sensible option! And now with temperatures already in the 90′s, I wish I’d got up a little earlier and ran this morning.
Oh well, should be an interesting PM run instead.

Abimars Gotten into the habit of running at 5.30am, its definitely cooler but still unbelievably hot!
A. Shell I got out at 6:00 this morning in Williamsburg. STILL HOT!
Just found this site. Looks good, and simi-local to me.
Steve Looks like temperatures are crazy everywhere at the moment.
I took for the easy option tonight and ran inside on the treadmill instead!

I’m all about the morning workouts in this kind of heat.
