It’s going up to 99 today with a heat index of 109(!) so I got up at 4am to run and I’m very glad I did—it was already hot and humid, and I see my HR was hitting 170. I didn’t get out the door until 4:45 because it takes me a while to wake up enough to put in my contact lenses (I’ll run a few miles in glasses, but the more I sweat the more unpleasant it is, and my uncorrected vision is so bad that I can’t do without). Dawn was already well in progress and there was a mostly-full moon too—I could have started even earlier. Jonathan pointed out I’d get the dawn chorus, and though it’s not as active as earlier in the breeding season, there was plenty! Trying to remember everything I heard on the run in order: jay, house sparrow, robin, cardinal, catbird, chipping sparrow, tufted titmouse, song sparrow, chickadee, chimney swift, house wren, Carolina wren, downy woodpecker, crow, goldfinch, mourning dove, wood thrush. Wow, that’s a lot, and it makes me realize how many I know by ear now (trying to add a few species a year, but past the common ones it gets harder!) The humidity and still air made the gardens smell really good even though I couldn’t see the details of the flowers. I’ll write more about this later, but I just signed up for the amazing CityStrides<\/a> so I’m motivated to run more side streets I haven’t covered before. It makes the runs harder to compare to each other, especially since I tend to go over, but it’s totally worth it. It’s also pushed me to vary the short runs more too. Fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
