Notes
Temp: 83
Dew Point: 66
Humidity: 57%
Heat Index: 85
I felt really good tonight. Even though it was just 5 miles that was a confidence booster after yesterday's disastrous long run. The dew point was the lowest I've seen it since the spring. Even still, it's probably very humid to folks who live elsewhere, but to me it felt almost fall-like. It was still warm and the heat index was 85, but it just FEELS better out. My pace was quicker tonight than normal and the weather is a large reason why. I try to always run on effort, but it's hard not to notice pace. I suspect that it will continue to come down as we get into winter. It's weird, but I have a hard time running fast. Not that I'm not capable of it, but I've run 10-11 minute miles for two years now. To see my easy pace creep into the 9's more regularly makes me think I'm running too fast, but I'm actually just getting fitter and continuing to lose weight. It feels good to be cruising along at a quicker pace and not be laboring, but it does take an adjustment mentally as strange as that may sound.
