July Exercise Challenge...Jump In!...Everyone Welcome!

Did a nice longish (but not easy) 4 miler tonight. I have no idea why there is such a difference between how I was feeling on my runs in march and April and how I'm now feeling(like what did I do signing up for a half?!). I'm going to blame the heat. Lol

I was telling my DH almost the exact same thing this morning. In this heat and humidity I'm so not looking forward to doing the Dopey Challenge. :faint:

30 elliptical

30 minute run in brutal humidity. I was supposed to run for an hour.

60/800

Ok everyone, repeat after me: :teacher: "The treadmill can be my friend. The treadmill is not evil. Eight miles on the treadmill is better than 2 miles outside when it's 90 degrees in the shade and humid."

I love running outside in the summer but when I'm doing the "yay it's not raining!" dance :banana:, I tend to forget about the heat. Gotta take it inside at least every so often when necessary.

I've tried a treadmill at the gym and honestly I thought I was about to get seriously hurt. Even if I have to get up early, and run in the rain (which I love if it is not a monsoon) outside is my only choice if I want to live to walk again. Lol :)
 
Updated through post 154.

We are coming up on a third of the way through the month. How are you doing? On track to make goal? A couple people are close to halfway! You can do it! :yay:

Steve--gotcha and welcome. Sorry it's so hot!
