” You may be right, I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for.”      Billy Joel

It was 91° at 7 p.m. tonight with a real feel of 99°.   I had chosen not orun for two days because of heat and humidity. The Jason Walton Memorial 5K is on Sunday.  So, today was likely the last day I could do any serious work in preparation. But I thought to myself doing   a running workout on the roads in 99* real feel is a bit of lunacy. But then I thought ,  “Why not be a lunatic once in awhile?”  I set out tentatively but kept going for 4 miles which took me 46:37.   I was soaked with perspiration when I finished and weighed 149 pounds before I took a shower.  It was a rather comfortable and pleasant run considering the conditions.   Rich Refi referred me to the song posted above which seems to fit the occasion.

Steady stats.
