Running in the rainforest


This morning I woke up early to enjoy a short run in the rainforest. Except that instead of tropical vegetation, there were pines and maples and instead of macaws and monkeys, there were robins and chipmunks. You see, it wasn't *really* the rainforest, it just felt like one.

At 6:30 am it was still under 80 degrees but with the humidity levels in the 90s, I might as well have been running in the Amazon. I was lucky to complete the short run in between thunder storms and while I did dodge the rain, it felt like I was breathing someone else's hot breath.

Still, not too shabby (for me) given the weather conditions....2.1 miles at a 14:27 min/mile pace
