Recovery Running In A Summer Swelter

The birds didn't fly off to a fallout shelter, but it was warm out there tonight, even at 8:00 pm. I got out there for the recovery run, though, and it went just fine. Despite the temps still in the mid to high 80's, without the sun beaming down it was sort of okay to run in it. I ran on the streets of the 'Hood, and just tried to run nice and easy. Turned out a little quicker than I had thought, but still it was the right kind of running. Ended up with 4.8 miles at just about 9:00/mile pace, and it felt comfortable again.

Tomorrow is just a gym visit for core and upper body, so that will seem like a vacation day by comparison with the first four days of this week. :-)

And bonus points if you got the lyrical reference in the title and first line of this post...
