Break Between Plans: Day 8
I woke up at 6:45, looked at the weather conditions, and went back to sleep. It was only 66°, but the dew point was 64° and I was like “no, thanks. I want to walk/run, not swim in 94% humidity.” I figured a couple hours later would drop the humidity to survivable levels, even if the temp went up. And I was right, by the time I finally got out of the house (which was delayed by more tree-trimming, which was itself delayed by the discovery of a fallen limb), the temp was up to 80°, but the dew point was down to 56°, giving me a humidity level of 44%.
I split the 6.5 miles into 3 different workouts: a half mile warm-up walk (10m2s), a 3 mile run/walk (45m27s), and a 3 mile walk (56m8s). The hills on this loop are the devil! Also, there were some rude cyclists on this path, zipping past without so much as an “on your left” or passing in the opposite direction without staying in their lane (there’s a center line on the path).
This isn’t the best selfie ever, but it’s literally the only point of interest on the entire trail.
The other exciting thing to come from the morning, is that I heard back from runDisney on changing my W&D virtual 10K to a W&D challenge. I called them the other day and got someone who didn’t really understand what I wanted (she referred me to
MDE, which obviously doesn’t help on a rD registration) so I sent an email and heard back this morning on the steps to take and it’s in process now. I won’t actually be ready to run a half on W&D weekend, but I’m going to run it as part of Marathon Weekend (since that virtual half is sold out and I don’t feel like stalking for a potential splitting of the remaining virtual Goofy registrations). I’m excited for the Yzma and Kronk half marathon medal, and the Ursula challenge medal; villains are more fun than the Marathon Weekend medals.
