Ran 3 miles down to Whites Woods to participate in trail race, however, a tornado watch cancelled the event.  Storm wasn't on us yet (not even close), so my family ran the event on our own and then drove home to beat the storm.  I did 3 miles in 18:50- really warm (85) and really humid (90%)- 6 miles total and a lot of sweat.
