No break in the weather today. Not sure what the temp was when I started but it was 75, 83% humidity when I finished. It was pretty sticky from the start but I felt pretty good. Knowing it was going to be a warm morning, I started off pretty slow and just took it easy for the first half. At the turn around I was feeling ok so gradually picked up the pace on the way back. Nothing drastic but it was nice to be able to run the second half faster than the first. Around 15 miles I felt like I was running out of fuel. I didn't really have enough to drink with me and I probably could have used a Gu at this point. I was still able to maintain my pace and actually picked it up a little more the last 3 miles. All in all a pretty good run in this weather. Looking forward to doing a long run when it is about 50.
