Cloudy and mid 60s F this morning. Couldn't really find a rhythm -- either my legs were ahead of my lungs or my lungs were ahead of my legs. Think I'm starting to wear down mentally; need a weather change to perk me back up.

Got up a little early and went out for my run at 7:50 am. Today's schedule called for a 30 min Foundation Run - easy pace. It was 68°F and 94% humidity, according to Garmin. But, it was pretty foggy, so I'm saying closer to 100% humidity. The run actually wasn't too bad. Worst part was that I was pouring sweat, but due to the humidity, it wasn't helping to cool me down. Ran 2.25 miles and walked 1.
Also 15.25 miles/20 walking.

I ran 6.4 miles today. It was hot and I felt slow. Temperatures were in the mid 70's and it was pretty humid. It should be about the same tomorrow. I did run through the water sprinklers at the courthouse this morning and that was pretty nice. But I am really ready for fall.
Yesterday was my dad's 83rd birthday. We did a video call birthday party for him. He was really surprised and even though I'm not sure how much of it he was able to hear, he could see us and he knew that all 5 of his daughters and over half of his grandkids joined the chat. My older sister who was with him in his room said that he was really excited and was telling his nurses all about it. He's doing a lot better too and they are hoping to be able to move him back to the rehab facility today. I think it really just depends on the bed availability.

11/7/20: Run for 57th AHC Half Marathon6 -
Howdy. I'm back.
I know I'm late to the party, but I'm running. And I'm running my first ever virtual race... to the International Space Station! It goes from 8/17 - 11/8 to cover 400K/284.5 miles. As of this morning's run, I'm at 51.42 miles! Hurray! My goal is to finish it running in front of the Space and Rocket Center here in Huntsville, AL. Maybe on my birthday - 11/4!8 -
Welcome @WandaVaughn! There are a few others on here that are running the ISS virtual race too, but I forget who.
Very good to hear your Dad had a good birthday and is doing well @kgirlhart!Cloudy and mid 60s F this morning. Couldn't really find a rhythm -- either my legs were ahead of my lungs or my lungs were ahead of my legs. Think I'm starting to wear down mentally; need a weather change to perk me back up.
You and me both sir! How about we trade weather, that will be a change for both of us. You can have this 83F / 90% humidity at 5am, and I'll take your cloudy and mid 60sF!

Hey, everyone.
I don't know if any of you are friends with @PastorVincent on facebook, but I just saw a very horrible message from his wife.
She posted to say he passed away Monday from underlying health conditions?
I don't believe it. I am utterly heartbroken. But also. I don't believe it.6 -
