I did not struggle, but was never close to comfortable on the four-mile, hilly Ridge Road Loop. It has turned summer out of the hazy blue-white; 87 at noon. With 62-percent humidity, Weather.com says the it "feels like" 94.
I jogged for the final minute of each five, except went two minutes down the 47th Street hill near the finish, and otherwise walked slowly to cover the loop in 53:30, with splits of 14:04, 13:38, 13:09, and 12:39, and soon will drive to Wal-Mart to buy a handful of sweatbands.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It's too hot, man."
— a bearded, 40-year-old man, wearing a St. Louis Cardinals hat, a sleeveless white T-shirt, and driving a white Chevy SUV, after he saw me slow to a walk near the former Pickle estate.

That's a quote I won't be hearing for at least another week.
