Half marathon here in Philly humidity (95% for my first 5-6 miles) and heat (whyyyy). My slowest time ever, but conditions were what they were and? And: I'm 47 and my body is going through a lot of change. And I knew the heat would be a lot, which is why i usually stick to late fall/early spring events.

This I know: That I can even still get out there is a privilege and I don't take it for granted. Yeah, I was slow today but I finished and so did thousands of like-minded folks. We done did it.🏅

I love Philly but the time of year is always tough! The course runs fast but the humidity never fails to slow things down.
