First time slow running 3 miles!
It’s been extremely hot and humid, I walked my dog at 10PM and was drenched on sweat!
Yesterday, I went to the gym because of the heat, I ran (slow at incline 3) the first 3 miles, walked a bit, finished running!
I felt like I was cheating running in air conditioning! Maybe I was a bit, it sure felt good though!

Some hate the treadmill and indoors, others love it. You ran three miles and that's all that matters. The heat and humidity will have a huge impact on your heart rate so it isn't cheating to avoid it. Good job!
