1:00pm start, 81 degrees
Hills, with partner
Every year the Hubs and I take some time out of the day for ourselves and go for a run. Its become something we really enjoy doing. In all the years past (mostly) we're been back east visiting family and the run has been anywhere from brisk to downright painfully cold. This year we're home in LA, and it was freaking HOT. Even in the summer I try not to run once it hits the 80 degree mark- I just end up too hot overall. Remember- whatever the air temp is, your body temp when running elevates about 10- 15 degrees from there. But today, we braved it. I got to do a bit of a route I never do, and I took the Hubs down some streets he doesn't often go down.
We took some time out to take a couple of pictures even- which was fun. The most important thing though was that we took the time to stop and steal water from spigots we found in front of apartment buildings. Never pulled that one before, but we kinda had to- we were both dying of thirst in the heat. This heat is a dry, crispy air, which makes breathing while running a chore- especially when you've become accustomed to the temps being about 30-40 degrees cooler on your runs.
Shorts, tank top, new xmas gift hat, the Hubs, a route that turned out to be over a mile longer then intended, the adventure of stealing water.... all in all, it was a great xmas run. Now I'm going to go drink everything we own and take a shower.
