Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away, know when to (not) run.  Let me tell you, it was *bleeping** hot and humid today.  I fully intended to do my regular 5 walk/30 run/5 walk today.  It was not to be.  You've got to know when the elements are against you.  And today, it certainly was.  We had a heat advisory today.  And it was no joke.  I started out ok.  I got through the first 15 minutes.  I even took some Gatorade Fit with me.  And then it all went south.  I took it down to a walk for a while.  Tried to elevate it back up to a run.  Had to take it back down to a walk.  Then concede the whole effort at 30 minutes.  I can't tell you how much running I did, total.  A little disheartening?  Yes.  Do I feel bad about it?  Not really.  Like I said, the weather was absolutely miserable today.  And I went out two hours later than normal, which just meant it was even hotter.  It's supposed to start cooling down a *little*.  We'll see.

On another note, I'm backing off on the blogging a little bit.  I don't think you necessarily need posts just tell you "I biked" or "I ran" today.  If I have something extra to say, like today, I'll write and catch up the workouts since then.  Even if nothing interesting has happened, I will to an update a couple of days a week.

Monday: Biking, ~30 minutes, ~5 miles
Tuesday: Rest
Today: Running/Walking (unknown combination), ~30 minutes, ~2.3 miles
