Hot again today...77F in the shade.  Pace slow, legs tired, and still felt drained by the heat at about the 2 mile mark.  Slog to the end.  Instead of moving my runs to the morning, I'm going to continue to run in the hotter part of the day for a while to attempt to acclimate.  Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of hot weather, and hot to me is everything above 70 when I'm standing still, 50 when I'm running!

Adrenaline 8s (Blue) - 47.29 miles.

You will be surprised at how quickly you can acclimate to the higher temps. You might have to start dragging the laptop outdoors into the shade so you can spend more time exposed to the temps.
