Favorite Thing, #10

Common scene from the 2007 Chicago Marathon. Black Flagged (called off) 3.5 hours into the race

 

We just got through one of the hottest, most humid stretches of weather here in Lincoln in a long time.  Summers here are generally pretty crappy. Either humid on your morning runs or just plain hot during your evening runs.  But as I got done with a hilly 8 miler in the country on Friday and doused myself with some ice water (I almost feel bad wasting that kind of water), I noticed one of my favorite things of summer running:  When your sweat seems to be sweating.  You have that initial sheen on your skin, then beads of sweat on top of that.  Usually this condition is associated with soggy shoes, drippy shorts, and a really good run.  Love it.

Badwater Ultrarun, Death Valley, CA From what I understand you don’t sweat during this run, you just suffer.
