7:30PM start 80F 80% humidity. But the weather was not the worse part. Apparantly there were some wild fires about 200 miles east of us and the wind brough lots of smoke with it. They declared code Orange for air quality. I hope I didn't do something stupid by running outside. It didn't feel bad on the trail inside the forest. Anyway, it was hot and I took it easy (8:13 average pace).

We have the smoke here in South Hill too. It reminds me of running in the Fall when people are using their fireplaces. Except it is 90+ degrees out.
