Kinda unusal to do a long run on Monday but glad I was able to get it in. Not the best day weather wise. It was 80 degrees when I finished the run and fairly humid. When I started off I felt good and ran along easily. I felt good all the way to around 14 miles and then the heat started taking it's toll. I probably should have started off slower knowing it was going to be so warm but it felt very comfortable at the time. Also, I probably needed to get out about an hour early because once the sun was up I started the melt down. I had planned on going 20 today but once the heat kicked in I took the shortest route back and was only able to cut off a mile. Glad I stuck it out but looking forward to cooler days.
