Right now we're experiencing some very un-December-like weather in the Mid South. Today the Fahrenheit temperature rose into the mid 70s, and is expected to keep doing so through the weekend. Something about a high-pressure system drawing warm air up here from the Gulf of Mexico.
When I paddled yesterday, and when I did my dry-land routine today, I did so in shorts. I got some brisk cold water splashes while paddling, but today I was sweating profusely while running and doing core exercises. The Gulf air is humid, just like in the summertime.
I paddled for an hour yesterday, maintaining a steady pace with three long surges. I could feel the soreness in my arm, but it wasn't bad. As for today, I was feeling sluggish as I went down to the Greenbelt Park, and I wondered if I had a full workout in me. But once I got going I kept myself moving from one exercise to the next, and before I knew it I was finished. It actually took me some ten minutes longer to do the workout than it usually does, and I attribute that to the weather: when it's freezing cold outside I waste no time at all because I'm eager to get it done so I can go someplace warm, while today I probably lingered a bit more between exercises in the pleasant weather. I think I still kept myself moving pretty efficiently, however.
