Today I did a 5-mile race in Avalon in support of an agency that calls elderly folks in Cape May for daily checks. It sounds like a good organization but I forget the name. Unfortunately the race t-shirt was bright orange but it was still fun. It was super hot and humid so I walked briefly through each water stop and emptied each cup over my head. I was definitely bringing up the rear but after the halfway point I passed a few people who ran out of steam and were walking. It ended on the half-mile boardwalk and I tried to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings.

Ran up towards Stone Harbor to about 55th at or so. It started raining and I had to walk on occasion to deal with my music selection. Now I feel prepared for my 5-mile run on Saturday.

Ran from approx. 27th st to 55th st which was about 1.8 miles. Then I turned aroind and ran in the shade for 1.3 miles then walked back to the house. It was only in the 80s at this point but it felt super hot due to the strong sun.
