| We went to McKinney Falls State Park this weekend. I didn't get to run on Saturday but we did do some hiking around the park. I got up early on Sunday morning before we left the park and ran along the paved hiking trails. The park was nice. Here is a picture of the trails. 
I also ran in the evening at my house, after we got home that evening. I'm monitoring the Dew Point to see if I can relate it to discomfort/sweat, etc. The Dew Point was actually lower on both of these runs than it has been (68 instead of 72). I'm not sure if it really makes that much difference but I felt much better on both of these runs than I have in a while. It was pretty darn hot (93) too when I ran in the evening.

| 8.75 grueling miles this morning at a snail's pace. I don't know if it was the weather or the fact that I ran yesterday evening. I was sweating before I even left the house. Temp - 79 Humidity - 78 Dew Point - 72 Wind - 8 9:22 Pace that felt like hell.

So I think I'm figuring a few things out. This morning I go out and run 3 miles at a pretty good clip (7:30 pace). It is really hot, humid and the dew point is 72. By the end of the 3 miles I am sweating up a storm. Sweat is flinging off of me like crazy. I can tell my body temperature has risen. At this point I decide to slow down but the heat has already done it's damage. I ran almost the same run the other day with a dew point of 68 and didn't really sweat for the first mile and then was able to keep up a good pace for the entire 6+ miles. Today I had to really slow down after 3 and by the end of the 6.8 I was walk/jogging. My theory is: The dew point, when that high, doesn't allow the sweat to evaporate off of my body (obvious). In turn my body temperature rises, then at some point my heart says "that's enough" and my HR lowers causing the lactate buildup. My hands start to swell up (side effect) because of the low blood flow and I'm done with productive running. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. I need some lower dew point days! Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.â |

| Much better this morning. I'm still watching and feeling the dew point. This morning it was down to 68 which seems to feel much better than 72-75 (which it has been). I was sweating by the end of the first mile but not profusely. This morning I was noticing the difference in the humidity when I ran down in the low areas and where the creeks are. In these areas I definitely got hotter. Today I was practicing my "walk about 10-20 steps and drink" for every mile. This is what I did in my last marathon and it seems to work best for me. I'm happy that I could pick up the pace for the last 2 miles, I haven't been able to do this much lately.

| Tried a little "speedier" work today. Each mile I would run .25 of the mile @ 5K pace. At this point I can't imagine running 3 miles at that faster pace.
