Second Florida Run

This morning was a much better run. I had made sure to drink plenty of water all day yesterday. I managed my right ankle with self mobs, massage and cross friction. I ate and slept well. I got up earlier, and managed to leave the house earlier. I wore shorts for the first time EVER since I started running. It was not as bad as I thought it would be.

I decided to reverse my route, and I went down Commodore first - and I managed to go further than I did  yesterday.

The people I came across during the run today were much more friendly than yesterday. Probably because I didn't look like a crazy girl in long compression tights running in 80% humidity.  I still had to walk after about 3 miles, but I was able to recover quicker, and continue to run at a decent pace, considering the high humidity and heat. I also drank my water every 10 minutes or so, before it got too warm. Unfortunately, I did not have any electrolytes in it, which I'm sure contributed to why I needed to walk so frequently.

The pool  I jumped in after I got back this time.

 It was delightful and glorious. Just the right temperature to cool me off. 

I think if I were to move here, it would take me about 6 months or more to acclimate in order to begin to run more efficiently. For me, running here is brutal, especially coming out of winter running. I wonder how it feels to run in high altitudes when you're not used to it.
