I had to wait a bit for the rain to pass this morning which means I did not get to start my run until 11am. While the overcast skies and the rain cooled air was nice, the humidity was punishing. I managed to get through the entire run with only the scheduled stops for liquids and Sport Beans. Very glad to reach the end.
