82 degrees and 84% humidity.

Note to self:  If you seriously want to run in the morning, get out earlier.  It is no cooler at 9 in the morning than it is be at 3 in the afternoon.  And if you do dawdle, do yourself a favor and run in the evening.

I ran at 6:30.  It was 82, but felt like 89, according to the weather channel (83% humidity).  Supposedly it's supposed to be over 100 today.

Note to self:  it isn't much cooler at 6 than it is at 9. You're better running in the evenings, unless you want to get up at 4:30 and be done before the sun rises.

It was icky.

I waited until the last possible moment to run today.  The heat advisory expired at 7 p.m. and I waited an hour before starting.  The first 3 miles were slow, but once the sun went down it was actually pretty nice and I was able to run a bit faster.  I even got in one more mile than I had planned to do.  

The only bad thing was that I couldn't fall asleep then, which would normally be a huge problem, but I had plans to run starting at 6:30 the next morning.

Started at 6:30 and did 2.4 or 2.5 before the kids came.  Don't know which but I'm logging it as 2.4.  Then I ran 5 with a group of girls with the last 10 minutes at a moderate pace.

It was MUCH cooler today than it was Tuesday, but still humid.

Run was split up a bit.  I got to the park early, ran 2  miles by myself, ran 1 mile with another kid, and then ran 3 ish with one of my slower girls.  Then I ran about 1/2 mile back to my car.

Class today and family is gone.  I don't know why I didn't go longer than 4 miles, but I enjoyed the easy run.
