76F, S 12 mph.  7:55 AP.  Fartlek on the way home with 8 x pickups ranging from about 75m - 200m in distance.

In the winter, the weather here can be somewhat unpredictable.  In the summer, not so much...

Yep - my car said the outside temp was 103 yesterday at 6 pm. Hey, at least we get to run 365 days a year. I would rather run in 80 degrees at 6 am in the summer than 20 degrees (or colder) and snow/rain as most others have to during the winter. Pick your poison, I guess. :-)

Nice run Joe ... my 10 day forecast looks pretty much the same ... although about 10 degrees cooler! I will remind my self that at least I am not in Texas, next time I run!

That's brutal. I would not survive in that heat. In fact, I DON'T survive when it gets that hot around here. Luckily it has been nice and cool for once.

This looks eerily like our weather this week, although we get to cool down a little this weekend. Nice run! You and your main foe the weather crack me up!

Your chart is sad/funny. But you're doing well in the heat.

Thanks for all the pity/empathy, I will try to complain less.
