Humidity Level

Living and growing up in Texas means that I am no stranger to the humidity. Though I am no stranger to it, I am still not always sure how to handle it. I have naturally curly hair, so wearing my hair straight on days with high humidity is never an option, and running in the humidity is high on my list of things I don't particularly enjoy doing. However, I made myself suck it up for a 5-mile run, because I am running in the Blue Bell Fun Run 10K this weekend with a couple of my roommates and a friend from high school. Seeing as I haven't run that distance in quite some time, I felt like it would be in my best interest to do so, so that I feel somewhat prepared for this race on Saturday. I know it is just a "fun run," but I am a very competitive person, so I have a hard time not comparing my times from year to year.

After breakfast, some studying for a test I have tomorrow, and a bit of brainstorming for my third and final research paper of the semester, - more on that coming soon, because I have to brag on some of my former teachers for helping me out on this one - I drove on over to Mueller Park to complete a 5-mile run. The run went much better than expected, though I was a sweaty mess by the end of it. 87% humidity is no joke!

I apologize for the glare on the photo - I have got to get better at taking pictures with my phone!

I am still trying to cool down from that run, and I about ready to make myself a huge bowl of fruit to tide me over until I decide what I want for lunch. And before I bid you adieu, if you're suffering from a case of the Mondays, look the bright side, the day is almost halfway over!
