Lunch on the Run

Today, for the first and last time, I ran over lunch. Perhaps there are places (e.g. Napa Valley, Wyoming, heaven) where running over lunch makes sense. Those places aren't particularly humid, they are not particularly hot, and they aren't 90% paved (notable exception being made here for streets of gold). I learned a few things:

1. Dallas is not Napa Valley
2. 90 degrees is hot, and it's not a dry heat
3. Black shirts are slimming but do simulate a skin tight furnace when exposed to the noon sun
4. When the sun is out, it is easier to see your reflection in the buildings that you are running by
5. I do not like to see my reflection while I am running
6. You have to stop sweating before taking a shower or it's all for naught
7. It takes at least 30 minutes directly in front of a tower fan to stop sweating

As much as I hate waking up in the morning, it seems to be the only time that works. Granted, this morning I had to make a trip to the airport at 6:20, and, come on, everyone has their limits.
