I dub last week as “the
week of the donut”. Every day, donuts made their way into our office for
a myriad of reasons: Microsoft Teams demo/info sessions in the lobby,
beginning of a system go-live week, the actual day of the system go-live,
because it was a workday, because donuts are awesome. Because, because,
because. It’s funny how quickly one can acclimate to something new (might
be a surprise to some that donuts are not usually an everyday thing for me).
Acclimating to Florida heat and humidity has been a bit more of a process, but today showed great progress!
As I’ve written previously, I’ve been slowly working myself into becoming an early morning runner to
beat the height of the heat and humidity. This morning, I chose to forego
the 4:30 am wake up call and opted for more sleep and some Saturday morning
lounging. Heading out around 9am, I figured it would be somewhat of a
sufferfest, but the additional sleep and lounging was worth the later morning
heat.
What happened next was a
pleasant surprise and proof that I truly am acclimating to my new
climate. If you’ve been following along, you know I’m not a routine “running
split sharer”, but today felt so good I had to share! After 5 weeks of
concerted effort to run consistently during the work week, to obey the early
wake up calls, to adjust to the sensation of breathing through a straw, to tolerating the waterfalls of
sweat, to trust the lead legs unaccustomed to the consistency, and even to pick myself up immediately after falling hard off
the donut wagon….THIS>>>
My long run tomorrow should complete my donut
detox. Come Monday, let’s see if I can
acclimate to a week with no donuts, shall we?
