4:30pm 97degrees 2.13 miles 27:43 13:01 pace
All I wanted to do today was move. It didn't have to be fast. It's dangerously hot so my goal was to get past 20 minutes without having to hail one of the passing Texas Medical Center ambulance crews for a defibrillator.
I jogged through the sunny patches and walked through the shade.
I'm a little sore from an excellent yoga class last night and I didn't want to come home from work and sit around and add to my soreness.
Day before yesterday, I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes. (The bike display said I went 9 miles. I didn't move forward one inch.) I'm thrilled to have such a beautiful gym to use but I feel claustrophobic exercising indoors - even with the beautiful view of the park. Or maybe BECAUSE of the beautiful view of the park. I considered using a treadmill today but I simply had to be out there. It's a big draw for me. It's one of the reasons I moved to this place.
I'm sipping a glass of water with a big squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of salt. Yes, I forgot to buy Gatorade. And yes, it's basically the same thing. Surprise! It tastes pretty good. There are lots of recipes on the net for homemade sports drinks. Some add sugar or coconut water. Most have a base of water, citrus, and salt. I'll add something vitamin rich to my dinner tonight, too. I don't want to ask for trouble. I know the heat is nothing to play with but it's nice to have a park so close.
