It was 40 deg this morning at 5 am. It was about 7:00 before I was able to run and the temp was still in the mid 40s. I ran 16 miles at 8:09 pace up past the reservoir and out the canal. The temp was 65 when I finished. We are supposed to hit mid 80s later today and maybe 90 tomorrow. It's amazing it can cool to the 40s after an 85 deg high. Really nice morning and nice run.

Ya know I wouldn't mind the hot days if it would just cool off at night. Our humidity is always so high that it just feels hotter than it is. 78 degrees in the moring with such high humidity makes it feel like 90.

The cool nights do make it nice. We open all of our windows at night then close them up in the morning so we don't need air conditioning Even when the temps get into the 90s the inside temp usually tops out in the 70s. I don't know how you handle that humidity. We usually travel back to Pennsylvania each summer and when it gets hot it can be down right miserable.
