The air was thick out there this evening for my 6 miler. It was thick in part because of the usual heat and humidity, but it was also hazy because the Everglades are again blazing to the west of us, so the smoke is lingering over the area mingly with the already soupy air. And I won't lie, the 6er was tough tonight. The first 4 miles were comfortable, but then in the 5th and 6th miles, I was done. I was sizzling, and I had to slow it down in order to finish 'er up.
1: 9:40
2: 9:43
3: 9:54
4: 9:54
5: 10:09
6: 10:08
Total Time: 59:13
On the plus side, the run was 99% bug-free. I have to think about those positives; otherwise, it'd be hard to find the shiny-side of running at this time of year.

For being done... Those are pretty good miles :-)
what if...you put your running clothes in the freezer before you left?
Glad to hear the run was bug free!
Good job on getting it done. :)
Great on pushing through the smoke and soup. Ugh! Summer is really starting to be a bitch.
Nice job!
Well done and, thankfully, bug free.
it's way freaking muggy here. i want to start walking to compliment my tennis so i hope i start tonight. THAT will be my new 'habit'
I say those are still some pretty sweet numbers! Very nice!
Better woman than I ;-). Great job!!!
Good job on pushing through the heat
Those splits look pretty good to me, especially since you're running in Florida in June! :)
the heat and humidity are ok. But the bugs have got to go. Good splits!
Nice job in the heat!
I'm impressed that you stuck with it. Doesn't sound like fun, but I'm sure your body will thank you later.
Nice job sweating out the six miles. Still finishing in under an hour...not shabby at all
