H/RL. My hatred of this city probably reached it's annual peak this morning. I'm just over the horrific jungle heat, flat urban monotony, auto pollution, depressing homeless park dwellers, etc. The only thing that got me out the door was hitting a round number for monthly mileage. In other words, a stupid, meaningless metric. Left the HRM behind because I knew it was going to just piss me off. Around the Rice portion, 3 x .5 mile followed by 2 x .25 mile, each with 0.05 - 0.1 walk breaks. It was not easy and I was cooked by the end. Cooked in a way I haven't been in quite some time. To think this used to be the norm... July was consistent and the mileage wasn't terrible. Yippee.
