I promised myself at the beginning of the year that I would go running every day that I could.
It’s July now, and I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight. I’ve gotten very used to my routine and I’m quite comfortable with it. I’ve even changed my diet and I decreased calorie intake in order to get the maximum benefit of such exercise. When I started out last winter the weather was rather mild. It might be in the forties outside when I took my run, but that wasn’t so bad. Springtime was pretty decent when it came to temperature too, although things started to warm up. Now however, summer is upon us and it’s pretty strenuous to run out there in the heat and humidity. I have never loved my air conditioning unit so much! Just about the only thing that keeps me going out there is knowing that when I get back, I can just collapse under the cool breeze coming from the air vents in my home. I love to set the thermostat a couple degrees lower once I get home and just bask in the air conditioning. Heat and humidity has always been crazy out here where I live, but I have never tried to exert myself out there as much as I do now for my daily runs. Sometimes, I am tempted to get a gym membership and just use a treadmill in an air-conditioned gym. Maybe, I’ll just do that for the summer time because the temperatures really have been brutal lately!
