After having a couple days of rather dry and cool weather on Hilton Head, yesterday got back to the usual hot and humid. In the morning, I did a 40-min easy run. Since I was trying to keep my heart rate at about 65% of maximum, I ended up running very slowly. In 40 min, I ran 3.25 mi, which was an average speed of 4.7 mph! It was really humid, which obviously had a detrimental effect.
In the afternoon, my husband and I played some singles. The heat and humidity really wore us out, and we played less than the 2 hours we usually do. I was not playing well, and only won one match.
This morning, it seemed to be not quite as humid, but still humid. I did a walk instead of a run, walking 3.3 mi in 54:53. I still got my heart rate going pretty well.
Before lunch, my husband and I did a bike ride around the plantation. RunKeeper says we did 12.99 mi in 58:41, which was an average speed of 13.3 mph. That's a little fast compared to our usual speed, and we didn't feel like we were working that hard, so I think it was a bit off. The nice thing about the biking was that we made our own breeze! Also, I got to see my Basis Peak detect biking for the first time since I got it, which it did successfully.
