It's called sweat.
This morning I went out with a running group. Needed some socializing. Needed an alternative to always working out indoors. And I was up anyway, so.....
And I have had my days of really "being a runner." At this point, I don't know. I run, but I do other stuff too. The Runner is not a major part of my identity. However, to run outside here, you kinda have to step it up a notch. I mean honestly, when it's already in the 90s very early in the morning, and the most scenic places are bombed out and bounded by t-walls....most casual runners aren't really gonna haul themselves out there. (Yes, it's still protected. I'm just talking about the visuals here.)
So we'll see what happens. I've already committed to next week. But we've moved the time up an hour to try to squeeze a little closer to "the cool" of the night. (Side note: it feels like it just flashes from night time to day time here. It goes from dark to HOT and BRIGHT in instants. Perhaps I'm just getting used to being closer to the equator? Or losing my mind?)
And afterwards I remembered that beautiful natural a/c called sweat. It wasn't until we were in Sudan that I learned how good sweat could make you feel. Well here we go again. Plus cold showers, even cold water, take on a whole new weight of ecstasy. So here's to the little pleasures. Ahhhh sweat.
