Hot (74), humid and sunny this morning.  I just took it easy this morning.  I was feeling the effects of the heat and humidity so just cruised along.  I felt pretty good running but didn't want to push it.  I am planning a tempo run tomorrow so didn't want to go very hard today.  Looks like this weather is going to last for awhile.  The forecast calls for hot weather for at least the next 5 days.

I may have to resort to getting up and running in the am. The heat is really taking its toll now. Good run.

This weather will really toughen us up eh? Keep drinking fluids.

There are lots of good things about summer. Unfortunately, running in high heat/humidity is not one of them...

The afternoons are tough. I have been trying to do some doubles but hard getting out in the afternoon. I have had to increase my fluid intake. The first few days of hot weather I didn't make any adjusts and was starting to feel it. I don't want to complain too much because I still like it better then 10 degress with 20 mph winds.
