PM - in St. Pete for work for a couple of days.  Did a run along the water and around the pier and Snell Isle - hot and sweaty, but nice to be see some familiar sites.  I downloaded an app called Outsider which was created by the Weather Channel and it is supposed to be used to track performance and the impact of weather conditions on running.  I have not yet used it, but it has this rating system of 1-10 with 10 being the most optimal running conditions and 1 being the worst.  Around 8:30 about an hour after the run, I clicked on the App and the rating was a 3 with a red circle around it and the phrase "Run Anyway?"

AM - got out early this morning and met Richie at the Snell Isle bridge.  He'd assembled a small group to run this morning including Justin and Brian and Drew who is just coming off his first sub 2:40 marathon in Duluth.   A couple other joined us - great conversation and nice to have a run with old running friends.  Pace was light and easy enough though the humidity was oppressive.  Shoes were making squishy noises at the end of the 7.5 run.  I don't miss the humidity.  Have not had that happen since I moved to ATL.
