This is my life for the next 5 months

[clseale]

Fuckingfuckityshitfuck! I'm not ready!! I'm on my way to do over 7 miles w/ 6 bridges, and not a drop of shade. Kill me now.

Ewwwwww

::melts into puddle of sweat::

[mrs.jacinthe]

That sounds ... awful. Is it at least not humid?

[hellonurse]

Mine too! Gotta love FL.

[andrealynn]

Nope.

[Deleted]

Yikes! Good luck with that.

[AAM2012]

Yep this is why I only run at 5am.  :? :^)

[CallingAllAngels]

Yep, it has gotten up to 90 here too. We just skipped over spring.

[jordylee]

Sounds sweaty and miserable. If it makes you feel any better, I've still been wearing my winter jacket. I am sososo ready for some warm!

We're humid from roughly February-December soooo..lol

We cut the bridges short at 5.5 miles & finished up with 1.5 flat miles in the shade. Now I have a headache. I know I'll acclimate, but it's brutal. The good news is that summer running dehydration does wonders for muscle definition! (J/k)

[starburst]

Ugh, I'm sorry.

[kams]

omg lol at your last comment.

I told H that it's kind of nice that it will be so sweaty in Houston because my arms might look fitter. No one repeat that.

Brutal though, yikes.

[cinco]

Ugh. I'd be heading for the shade immediately. If this is the secret to all your non stop PR's I think I'll pass

[hannahb]

Full permission to bitch and complain. We all did it over the winter

LOL! They totally will. The advantage to your appearance when losing 3 lbs of water weight, is real!

I finished a lot of runs over the summer in just a sports bra, and it wasn't such a horrible sight....then I'd drink a gallon of water & put my shirt back on.

If the race photo gods are real, they will allow me ONE good race photo from this day. JUST ONE, I BEG.

ETA: and I'm loling at your water --> shirt. Right!

Well that sounds terrible!

[sadlebred]

We will join you soon. It was about 86 here today but not humid. These temps are more like early July. I think we cool down a bit over the weekend.

[Brit]

I hear you. Yuck.

[lovesherheels]

Ew. Brutal. I don't envy that part of living in Fl.

[Wines Not Whines]

I didn't leave FL because of the weather, but it's a major reason why I don't want to move back. Sure, it's lovely from December-March, but the other 8 months of the year are painful.

[clseale]

sadlebred, it looks like we'll get back into the low-mid 80s this weekend. I think we'll bounce back & forth for a couple more weeks before the 90s are officially here to stay...and it gets even hotter.

Hang in there brit! I know you have it worst of all.

[Stingyshark]

barf. it was 90% humidity at 630 when I was checking the weather trying ot decide whether or not I wanted to run when DD gets up.

[lb2006]

We're high 80s, hitting 90 1-2 days this week. But it's in the 50s in the morning, so that is nice!

The half i'm running in a few weeks used to start at 7:30. It would get brutally hot once you were off the greenway (so like, 10 miles of the race). I usually weigh myself before & after every long run to ensure i'm drinking back enough fluids.

That race I weighed myself when i first got up - ate breakfast, drank all four bottles from my fuel belt, additional water from aid stations, a gatorade/water/italian ice(s) after the race and came home to weigh almost 3 lbs less than when i got up that morning. SERIOUS SWEATING.

Now they start the race at 6:30 and reversed the course so you're on the greenway at the end!

Forget spring - happy summer, y'all!

[mrshandy]

Ugh, you have my sympathy.

Ugh. That's why I hardly ever run before work. The humidity gets me even more than the heat, and the humidity is even worse in the morning. I love 7-8 AM, but DH & I tried a few 5 AM runs, and we were more miserable than at 6 PM.

i hear ya, the humidity is the suck.. but 6pm is like a death trap around here. I have to run when everyone else has gone to work other wise it's treadmill city; and the screen on my TM doesn't work so that's annoying.   
I hate summer. I always find a reason to bitch out of runs during the summer. Now is not a convenient time to decide I want to run again.

[fluffycookie]

Yikes! And I was complaining last night because it was only 64 and I was cold when I was at t-ball.
