it's just too hot, both inside and out

I had to go into work a little earlier today, so I didn't have time to run in the morning. so I opted for a run on the treadmill since I could at least have a fan blowing directly on my face. {even though my heart of hearts really just wanted to run outside... but not in this 90+ degree heat} I always want to push it really fast on treadmills, not only will it make the miles go by faster but it's easier to get stuck in the fast-trap because you can visually see just how fast you are going. I had to hold it back a little today because I was getting random pains in my knees and achilles. I also had to cut the run a bit short so I could catch my bus.

but let me tell you, even with that fan blowing directly on my face it was HOT. sweat all over the place.

4.5 miles

As I was riding my bike up the steepest hill around with the kids in the bike trailer, I rode past a bank and the temperature was 95....I thought to myself I must be crazy! But at least I wasn't running, I HATE running in the heat. But I did just come from the rec center where I also ran on the treadmill, but it is much cooler in the AC!
