When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Of course, I said that as any non-programmer would. Perhaps there's a lot more to it on your end, Eric?
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

When it's really humid for me, I write in my log "Hot as Balls!". That always does the trick. Oh, and one time I did a race that was soo hot, I changed the name of the race to "Satan's Hot Ass".
So I don't really need a 'feels like' field. I think that's pretty much taken care of in the comments area. Just FWIW.

Are you lactose intolerant or something?
Runners run
Keep an off-line log as well with the temp/humidity/dewpoint.
(It's good practice since there is
always a possibility that Running Ahead might not be forever.
And I've had on-line logs crash and all the data lost in the past.)
You will see a trend. In terms of temperature, the same run, and at the same HR, in 80º compared
to 45º can easily be 7-12% difference for us amateurs. Add humidity in, and the slowing will be worse.
The good news is that your body will acclimate, and you can make progress. Though sometimes less
is more in the high dewpoints.

Son, that's about enough AC/DC for you until you can learn to take it good fun.

Well Jimmy from Atlanta...if RA ever ceases to exhist...I may just have to stop running. I can hardly remember what running was like before this place. Hrrruuumph!
LOL.
Be careful. The next step is thinking you ARE your profile.
The next step after that is not being able to remember if
you even had a life before RA. Then if and when Eric decides
to sell out to the big running website monster for a half
million dollars, and they change everything, or torch everything,
and even censor the sentence "I ran my ass off", then you will
find yourself in a void of non-identity, non-place, and non-time.
Or maybe one day Eric wakes up and says to himself "it's time."
And he finally puts on the orange robe, enters a Buddhist monastery,
pulls down RunningAhead, and starts "Chanting Ahead", complete
with meditation and dream logs, and forums such as "Vision Reports",
"Beginning Meditators", "General Dharma", and "Off The Karmic Wheel."
All still free of advertising, and all donations going to food for the poor.
Whatever happens, when the website goes poof, so does your history.
And when you can't show someone your log, it can get very lonely.
That could happen.
Or you could just use the export feature occasionally or even regularly if you're worried about it.

Jimmy's right. Who knows if I will find all my data gone one day? I'm going to take all my data and go back to a pen and paper log instead. There's a far less chance of having my house burn down.
On the other hand, the benefits of graphs and maps out weigh the possibility of data loss. You can wrap yourself in bubble wrap and run indoors on a treadmill your entire life, or risk twisting an ankle and enjoy running outdoors.
