I had a smokin 3 miler this evening...no, not particularly fast..."smokin" as in I thought I might burst into flames because it was so hot out! I waited until 7 pm, right when the sun was setting, but clearly, I'm gonna need to start pushing that hour back a little later. I didn't realize how warm it was until I got home and checked the temp and realized that the "feels like" temp was 89 degrees.
I'm pretty sure the only ones who like it that warm are the elderly. And Satan.

Thank god it was only 3 miles; because when I returned, I was drenched in sweat and I could feel my face pulsing with heat. Now, I'm ensconced in air conditioned comfort, and I'm cooled off, but man alive, I'm not sure if the day will ever come when I get used to running in Florida's summer time heat!
How exciting that you are doing the Colfax!!!! I was thinking about doing it....
ReplyDeleteI thought to myself this morning summer and humidity have arrived. Yuck! I am so glad this kid is going to be birthed before the forecast turns into: low 90, high 100, humidity 99% but no rain. I can't believe you run in this weather. I barely like walking from the house to the car!
ReplyDeleteNice splits!
ReplyDeleteNice run in this glorious Florida weather.
ReplyDeleteIs that why people were looking at me funny when I was wearing jeans? I wonder if I'm more satan or more elderly.
Stay hydrated in that heat.

Wow...89 degrees and a great run. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWOW toasty! You must be looking forward to the rainy season
ReplyDeleteI give you props for even doing it! I wouldn't have lasted a mile!
ReplyDeleteYou may not get used to running in the Florida summer heat, but you keep doing it anyway. Way to get it done!

ReplyDeleteGreat splits, Jess! It's hot here too. It's gonna be a long haul till October.
ReplyDeleteLet's trade...I'll run in the Florida heat and you can run in the Michigan cold. :)
ReplyDeletehot damn that's hot! nice job gettin' thru it!
ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing that I don't live in retirement state aka Florida. It was 50 degrees this morning when I went for my run. I would imagine those Floridians would consider 50s too chilly. It was awesome. Drink plenty of fluids.
ReplyDeleteGreat job making it through the heat with decent splits.
ReplyDeleteOh man I wish I had your heat right now. May gray has hit SD and I'm going to have to use a heater for heat training.
ReplyDeleteNow we know why they say--
ReplyDeleteHell is for hero's.
I hope the man "cooled you down" a bit ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job my dear :-)
I actually miss training in South Florida because I can't tolerate heat anymore. I used to do 90 in the middle of the Miami summer. Now, I don't even try when it's that hot.
ReplyDeleteGReat job even in the heat.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would enjoy running in that heat, either. Of course, it probably trumps our six months of winter up here.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I bet it makes you really heat-acclimated.
What I would give to be able to step out the door, regardless of the heat and humidity, and go for an easy three... It's not th einjury tht sucks -it's that lack of running. Stupid body.
