Drenched

For a few minutes I actually forgot that I even ran at all this morning- I guess those 3 mile runs literally do feel like nothing now!

This morning it was crazy foggy- like, I could only see about 30 feet ahead of me.  I was really glad that my route only crosses major roads in two places, because I'm sure it would be very hard for cars to see me through that dense fog.  On one hand, the fog was kind of nice because it had a bit of a cooling effect, but on the other hand it just felt ridiculously humid because it was still quite warm out.  Whenever I squeezed my eyes shut I could feel all the water droplets that had collected all over my eye lashes.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen that I tweeted this morning when I got back home:

And it was true- the picture I tweeted proved it!

Ok, so maybe you can't tell that well by the photo, and some of it is legitimate sweat, but I was twice as drenched as I normally am after a 3 mile run!  My hair looked like I had just gone swimming- and that has never happened before!

I was pretty annoyed at the end of my run this morning though- even though I gave my Nike+ a great review a couple weeks ago, I think I'm going to have to go back and amend that review.  My sensor has been disconnecting frequently and it doesn't say that it's a low battery, so I don't really know what the problem is.  I run the same 3 mile route every week and today it got stuck on 2.9 miles and refused to record that last tenth of a mile even though I kept running past my normal stopping place.  I looked at the Garmin Forerunners a little bit- I like that the 305 has the heart rate monitor with it, but I haven't done much comparison shopping around yet.

Do you use a Garmin Forerunner? Tell me about it!!
