Hot, Humid & Hilly

I could probably use the title for many posts over the next couple of months. But yesterday really was. As I walked to the station this morning in a very pleasant 70 degrees, I wished I had run today. Instead, I will have an evening bike ride, by which time the heat is expected to crank up. Anyway, back to yesterday.

7 miles in Great Neck. Thanks to the built in alarm clock of 7 children, there was no problem rising. I managed to convince my friend Marcus to run along with me, having assured him it was pretty flat. Of course, it wasn't. I still have problems identifying challenging hills on the elevation charts. Still, it was a good workout. And the real estate of Kings Points makes for great viewing! However, the hils and the humidity made it pretty slow, but I wasn't too bothered to be honest. More surprising was that I was slow enough that the mosquitos could latch on and bite me 40 times (no exaggeration) between my two legs. Made for fascinating viewing for the kids!
