I’ve done a few posts with running views and as I was running this past weekend, I thought it would be fun to do a monthly feature of running views. (I’m also going to make it a link up, so if you’re interested in joining in, please do!)
When I set off Saturday morning, it was in the low 80s with 80% humidity. I had a very difficult time running, and when I finished 3 miles it was in the upper 80s.
This was all between 8:45 and 9:25 a.m. It wasn’t like I set out at 11 a.m.
I still enjoyed beautiful scenery. I imagine the people on the lake were feeling a little better than I was.
My mile splits started out close to 10 minute miles, but I think I finished in my average 11 to 11:30 minute/mile pace.
Now I want to see where you are running this month! Link up below! (This linky is open for 2 weeks so you have some time if you’d like to join in.)
How do you cope with exercise in extreme heat?

June 26, 2015 at 12:46 amNice! I love the views, can’t run myself due to an injury but I cycle and always take pictures of my cycling view!

June 26, 2015 at 3:09 amIf I had scenery like that I think I would be motivated to run too but then again I’m just too lazy. 🙂

June 26, 2015 at 6:36 amThat is a lovely view. I wouldn’t mind running there at all 🙂

June 26, 2015 at 11:29 amI might start running if I had a view like that. I struggle sometimes to even go outside and walk during the summer. Our heat index has been 100+ the past 2 weeks.

June 26, 2015 at 12:40 pmI would love to run through places with nice scenery! So much better than the boring treadmill. I love that lake view!

June 26, 2015 at 1:40 pmThe view is fabulous. I usually walk at night because it’s cooler. But I would walk in the morning, if I had that view.

June 26, 2015 at 3:12 pmThose are some beautiful views! I usually try to walk a couple of miles a day and my views are not as pretty.
Tess says

June 26, 2015 at 8:24 pmWhat a beautiful area to run in. I wish I could see that much greenery outside.
Heather D. (@GirlGoneMom) says
June 27, 2015 at 9:35 amI might even run with these views. Looks scenic!

Babita says
June 27, 2015 at 10:52 pmYou pictures are gorgeous. Every summer I tell myself I will start running and don’t do it. I hope to do it this summer.

June 28, 2015 at 10:02 pmbeautiful scenery! But be careful out there. Running alone in these areas with not a lot of pedestrian activity can be dangerous.
