Met up with the group for a hot & humid run around the park tonight. I really didn't know how my body was going to react, as it seemed difficult to even make it up to the park. But after I got going, I felt my rhythm kick in & my pace steady. Once I got over the heat, I was able to see how beautiful the sunset was...full of many shades of pink.

I realized that one of my favorite things about running is my mental state before & after runs. Right as I start my warm up to the park, my mind if full of ideas, to-dos, worries...but less than an hour later my mind is free of thoughts & just enjoying the surrounding beauty.

Distance: 5.35 miles
State of Mind: Man, the heat is challenging...
