It's tank top/singlet running season!

Waited a little too long and ran in the hottest part of the afternoon with the most sun... Whoops! I guess the plus side is quicker heat acclimatization.

Another awesome group run...run 2 of 2

Nice and easy run around the neighborhood for run number one of two on the day. Life time group run coming up later!

A rainy evening, but we're trying to start a running club in town, so best to stay consistent!

This is one of the tougher long runs I've had in quite a while, just felt like a slog the whole time. Lots of rest breaks, lots of hydration, sweating buckets, sluggish legs! I did get out before 7:00 a.m. at the coolest part of the day and ahead of a rainstorm, but the rain in the area also meant 97% humidity and run conditions and the upper '60s probably had a lot to do with how it felt. Also no relief from wind... not even a whisp..like 0 mph! Pushed through and got it done anyway, it just took a while.

I was a little concerned that the run may have also caused brain damage since the first thing I did when I got home was brew coffee without the cup in the machine and all over the kitchen counter! 🤷‍♂️ Did everyone get out and get in their runs?

Heat acclimation season continues with the temp already pushing past 70° for our morning group run. Usually takes one to two weeks to get used to that and for your body to prepare to sweat more efficiently and clear the excess heat. I was also reminded right away how your heart rate can rise so much more quickly in the heat. It''s always best to mix in some walking or even total rest breaks.

Sunny afternoon Run and kept pace and effort in check ahead of some long weekend miles.

One of strange runs where the first half feels sluggish and slow, and then something kicks in where the second half feels effortless and fast.

Scouting out a route for the first run of the North Plainfield running club! What does everybody else have going on today?

My 2nd run of the day was a nice group run in perfect weather...and a deer photo bomber!

It's a double day and run #1 was a very easy one around the neighborhood to shake off any rust after Sunday's long run. What does everybody else have planned for today?

Perfect day in mid 50s and cool wind gusts for a nice long run. Kept things in check hovering around "party pace" and low end of zone two. I stopped after hitting goal of three hours on my feet.

A hot and muggy morning for our social run. Legs felt sluggish and the topic of the day was heat acclimation.

🏃‍♂️🥵👍
