Notes

When I woke up it was 80 degrees with a 71 dew point. When I stepped outside I felt like maybe it didn't feel as humid as it had been feeling. I quickly lost that feeling. For most of this run the air was totally stagnant and I was jonesing for some wind. I tried to run by heart rate for this run. But I found it incredibly hard to keep my heart rate under 160 in this weather. If I ran that slowly I felt like I was crawling, so I eventually gave up on the heart rate thing and just tried to run an easy effort. Everything feels harder when it's 80 degrees, though.

I kind of liked the weather this morning, though. It gave me a chance to really get some exposure to some hotter temps on an easy day and I am just happy my body got another chance to adjust to the heat before the race. Plus, even though it was an easy day, when you come home absolutely drenched with sweat, it still feels like you got in a really solid workout!
