The giant sucking sound
While the job market is far from robust these days, the sucking sound people in the West Chester area are hearing these days isn't related to the economy. It's the sound of the energy being drained from of my body by the heat + humidity as I run around campus. I literally feel like Gumby by the time I hit the 2 mile mark. It's not fun. I don't like anything that makes my running 'not fun'. And it's only going to get worse. Grrrr. Every day I say to myself "I'm going to run three laps today. I've been doing two for far too long now. I need to go longer." Then I get out there and I'm lucky to finish the two before I feel like I'm going to throw up. Of course, I could get up and run early in the morning before it gets hot but then it's usually more humid. I could wait until later in the evening but it doesn't cool off a whole heck of a lot until after the sun goes down. I could quit running until October. Nah. I suppose I should just put my big girl panties on and deal with it. But that doesn't mean I can't complain, right? I mean, I am a woman.
