81 Days
81 Days left until the commencement of the mini-marathon. I found myself running at 8a.m. today in order to beat the heat. The problem is, while heat is annoying, humidity is a problem too. I did find that 71 degrees at 100% humidity, though more pleasant than 78 at 86% humidity (believe it or not, the 7 degrees makes a bigger difference than the 14%), it still produces just as much sweat. I did my staple of 5 miles this morning, and plan on running in the Bluegrass State Games this saturday at 7:30 a.m.
I know, I know, not everyone has the luxury of beating the heat by running in the morning, but as official training does not start until next week, 3 miles would be fine for today. Or, if you really want to push it in this weather, 4.

I managed two last night! That was enough to make me happy of my accomplishment!
In this heat...that's awesome! The humidity makes it 4 times as difficult.
I am under the spirit that running at the hottest time of the day is great. That way your getting that extra workout and you don't run as far.
Hmmm, kind of like that old theory of running in a plastic bag to lose weight. Makes it like a sauna!
