Day 21- 7 Miles

I woke up early today so I could get my run done before 11am.  It's starting to get hot and humid here in Texas.  When I started my 7 miler this morning the humidity was at 92%!  It was like running trough a sauna.  Yuck!  At the end of my run it had gone down to 72% but was 80 degrees.  I went to the local park that I like, it has a lot of shade from tree coverage.  But holy crap, the bugs there are HUGE!!!  I almost stepped on the biggest spider I have ever seen.  It's ass was the size of an acorn...it was disgusting!  I actually turned around and ran in the opposite direction because of that sucker.  I saw a handful of other spiders but thankfully they weren't as large.  I saw bees, wasps, a million rolly pollies, butterflies, caterpillars, birds, squirrels...there's so many things to look at, I love that park.  There was a lot of people out there this morning.  Walkers, runners, bikers...people having a family photoshoot.  I felt pretty good aside from a small pain in my right leg.  I'm hoping my foam roller will take care of it.  Miles 5 and 6 were a little rough for me.  I'm not sure why, my breathing never got out of control or anything but my legs felt like lead.  Mile 7 was a little better.  :o)  I was hoping to finish in 1 hr and 10 minutes but I missed that goal by 53 seconds.  Oh well, there's always next time!  :o)
