| Yes...the Upper Midwest really sucks right now. It feels like trying to breathe Jello. It's not even very warm here, but the humidity is insane. |

OK, you guys sure have me beat. I'm about to go out in 97F heat (it's 6:30 pm!) but the humidity is only 8%.
I'd better stop whining and HTFU!

I prefer that to -20c, with wind and a snow and ice surface, ANYTIME. Well unless we break 100 than I might have to think about it. Maybe then I could recruit the kids to follow me on bikes, arm them with Spray bottles of ice water, anything to keep the streak alive  |

I just got back from my run and thought it felt amazing - the humidity was 'only' 48%!
Usually it's much higher. It is like zoom says - like breathing through jello. |

How do you breathe...seriously? That kind of heat with that kind of humidity and my lungs would seize up. |

Well, I have to run here for the military training I am in. I really only need to run about a 5K, but I want to run my first HM in July when I get back to South Dakota, so I just HTFU

Hey! I went out today too - in NJ. when I started the car up, my therm on the dashboard read 103 
I'm not one to do well in humidity, but I still went and actually, it was "ONLY" 98 when I got into the park I was running at. I don't think Ive ever run in this kind of crap yet, so i made sure i stayed on the entrance roads so at least a park ranger would find my passed out body, and under the shade of trees as often as possible. I actually had a pretty good run considering it was definitely like jello
i'm actually quite proud of myself  |

I'm getting ready to go out at 10am- the only time I can today..  90 and 49% humidity. Thankfully it is only 5miles- it will be a crawl Im sure. |
| Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?
