Weather - 80 degrees, sunny, humid. A little cooler today, which made a big difference. I have noticed that after running hard several days in heavy humidity, when the air finally clears my running ability seems to increase. Today I felt about 5 pounds lighter because of the lower humidity, and I ran like it - loose, at ease, and faster than normal with easy breathing. Running in humidity should be considered a form of resistance training because the body feels heavier than normal. I ran 1.75 miles barefoot on the 7th and 8th fairways, 1 mile of which was run at about 5:30 pace. It was an "easy" 5:30 pace, not out of breath, legs moving with control, it felt good. Afterward 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #206 z.m. - #119
