79F, 90%.  7:34 AP.  Leon Creek Greenway.  I actually felt good to start off this run, so I decided to pick it up for a 4-mile tempo to finish up the run.  Nope.  Averaged 6:58 for the last 4 miles and it was painful.  One day I will look back and laugh at how hard it was to run 7-minute pace.  Right now, it's not so funny!  Dewpoint around 75 today with a heat index of 85, so yeah, I know, but still...ouch.

One day soon, for sure. You need to move somewhere that it's 60 degrees, no humidity, all year round. As soon as you figure out where that is, let me know.

Glad you felt good enough to go for a tempo....what about running at 2am? :)

Nice finish Joe. It'll come back! You have any fall racing plans?

April

I'll answer that question. It's hotter at 2 than at 6 am.

Tracy - Falkland Islands

April - sadly, IJR is right

Matt - I want to do a HM here in November (rock and roll) but other than that, no. I need to find some stuff.

IJR - at least it'll be nice in December, right?

When I asked that yesterday I was noticing your last 2013 goal. Those shorter ones would fall in quite nicely getting you ready for the November half.

It should cool down by December. :-)
