Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot
This evening, after I finished a seven mile tempo run on the treadmill in my basement, I sat on the floor to do some stretching and saw steam rising off from my body, from my neck down my stomach to my legs.
Now, I know my basement isn't finished and the temperature is quite a bit cooler down there than it is upstairs. And I know by the time I was done I could easily have wrung a gallon of sweat out of my shorts and top.
But steam??
Either that's a really cool lesson in physics or my tempo pace on the treadmill is so blazing hot it's setting off steam.
Let's go with the second one.

I'd go with the latter too! And you're awesome for doing seven in a tempo. Just thinking about that makes me tired. I hope you're picking a hard leg for the Wasatch Back!
Jen,
I haven't decided which leg I want for the WBR. I'm going to steer away from the really long mileage ones (save those for the gals who are marathon training) but I wouldn't mind one with some tough hills. I really gotta get going on some hill training, if that's the case. Oy vey.
Sizzling hot..... A tempo run on the dreadmill! U R Bad.
You're smokin!
When I would run in Miami we would get steam a lot on us after our runs. It was always hilarious to see everyone standing around talking after a run and looking like they are about to combust.
Can I ask what might be a dumb question? What is a tempo run? It makes me invision someone running to a metronome or to Olivia Newton John's Lets Get Physical over and over again. Is this sthe case?
LOL, Lili... I think I like your definition better! Here's a site I googled that explains the tempo run:
