Am I running or swimming. I can't tell.

This humidity is KILLER. Please tell me I will adjust.

Sweet! I'll be super ready for my next tri!

Lol!!  I'm annoyed it is going to be in the 80's at lunch.  Where did the heat come from???

Seriously. I was Wanda the Winer this morning. I looked like I caught every sprinkler on the run like a freaking golden retriever!

When it's nasty hot, I remind myself that I'd rather be running in extreme heat than extreme cold. Not that I don't still bitch about it....I love complaining!

I'm totally unable to handle heat this year, it makes me ill.

Except my golden mix is a big baby and doesn't like the water. He needs his lifejacket to go near the water.

My last two long runs have been HORRIBLE because of the heat. My H and I even tried going at 8 one Sunday, thinking it'd be okay cuz it's still pseudo-early... Hahaha what was I thinking?

The longer I live here, the more I come to accept it. Slow down, hydrate often, and expect to feel like a swamp monster the entire time. On the plus side, with the adaptations from training in the heat, you'll have a real advantage for fall races!

Learning ot slow down and not live-or-die by my Garmin has been the biggest challenge.

I have purposely been working out in some heat, every other day (it's not bad in the mornings here at all, but if I wait until mid-morning, it nears 100). If you do 30 minutes of workout in the heat, every other day, you will acclimate sooner. I am not sure you can acclimate to humidity though since you basically sweat out everything you drink.

I feel like the more I embrace it, the easier it is. hmm, good luck

You would think I would be adapted by now. I grew up here went to college further south, and the only place I have lived besides ATL- S.Florida. 

Nope. Clearly no adapting going on here....

Kidding. I think a lot of my lag is coming from not running much last summer. My miles for the marathon didn't bulk up until fall/winter.

Yea. So true. I have been trying to run at lunch. But I have lots of good excuses. I just need to suck it up and doooo iittt. However, running at lunch is feeling a lot more like walking on the moon lately.

Do not look at how hot it's supposed to be by the end of the week. I warned you not to look.

[shellfish26]

gt7301b, your dog is ADORABLE!!!  

[secretlyevil]

Normally I run before the sun is even really up to avoid the crazy heat and humidity. I'm doing the running leg of the Augusta HIM relay in September so this year I am learning to run at 7 and 8 in the morning. EEEEEWWWWWWW...it's so gross and hot and humid.

[tuggyruns]

gt7301b that's ridic adorable!

[gt7301b]

Thanks shellfish26 and tuggyruns, the pup will also bark at you if you are in the water and he isn't wearing his jacket

I'm the opposite. Give me sub freezing temps over summer heat any day.
