72 : 82-84% humidity at 4:45 am!!!  I had on shorts and a performance tank.  They were both wet with sweat after only one hour of easy running.  It was icky!!  Once in a while the breeze came and it was nice, but the rest of the time, yuck.  We're supposed to get big storms here today & tomorrow. 

I brought my running stuff if it's not raining after school to do bleachers.  I brought an unbrella if it is.  We could really use some rain, so I'm not going to complain if it does rain today.  I might complain if it's still raining tomorrow morning when I'm going out to run, but I'll worry about that tomorrow.  It might actually be fun :-)

My pace was slow today.  It took me a long time to warm up my muscles.  They were still achey from Saturday's run.  Today I was happy that my last mile was under 9, when last week I was happy to get one under 8.  Funny how things can change like that.  By mile 4 I was staring to feel "normal" and not stiff and awkward running.  I was glad that the feeling finally came- I was wondering if the aches would ever go away.

Looking forward to a good week of running...hopefully the weather will cooperate!

3 miles later- 2 running with 1 bleacher mile in the middle

That's some crazy heat and humidity at that time in the morning.

I hear you about resetting your expectations. These days, I'm happy if I get below 10 on an easy run.

Always takes me a few good miles to warm up! I'm glad you're recovering well and I hope you enjoy those bleachers :)

**oh, and as a side note...while I was gone my tomatoes FROZE! I don't know if they're salvageable or not :( So...ppbbbttttt about the heat!!!**

Wow, that is really hot and humid for so early in the morning. I hope the weather cooperates with you this week and you can get some decent runs done.

Brent- no marathon planned anytime soon. I'm just enjoying the running right now. Helping my Saturday friend get to her 20 mile goal. It's all good. Less stress.
