Climate change.

Today is back day! YAYAYAYAY! Thursday is my most favorite day of the week, workout-wise.

[mrshandy]

I'm sorry! This was me last week. It sucked. You have my sympathies.

I'm sorry. I've been WTF at the extended forecast. Looks like we might get a slight cool down in a week. This has been a long stretch of warmer than normal weather.

[allez]

I had a mental breakdown on the bike trainer this morning. Like full on sobbing, couldn't breathe well mess. Ugh.

I hope the weather cools down some soon. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

It's hot here, I haven't ridden since Saturday and this Saturday (2 days, OMG!) is my 100 mile ride. And, I have a cold. Like, I'm going home at lunch and going to bed because I can't breathe and feel like crap. We leave early in the morning, we still need to pack and I'm super stressed. Mostly because HOW THE HELL am I sick right now.

[wambam]

We had SUCH a cool August - some days even in the low 60s. Now in late September, it's 90 degrees. HARD PASS.

We have customers in at work all goddamn week and I wish they would leave.

Yikes that is warm, I'm with you on the WTF. We're having similar temps here. One of the main local marathons/half is this weekend too and they've already started to offer people options to drop down to the half, planning for more water stations etc.

I successfully avoided the donuts in the lunchroom this morning. Who am I lol?

Please God this has to happen- if it's hot in October I'm going to cry.

It's supposed to snow at my house this weekend. Ya'll should come here (8400' in the CO Rockies) and run.

It's only day 3 and I'm already annoyed by the RP food plan. The idea is good, and I'm sure it works well. I just want to eat without meticulously planning out all my food for the week and don't see myself lasting on it for long. Le sigh...

Good luck to those of you who are racing this weekend!

I haven't been able to catch my breath since Sunday. My inhaler and nebulizer are barely providing any relief, but I was able to get into see my doc this afternoon.

I was bunny-sitting for my friend this week and I think that I might be allergic.

[hannahb]

Back when Chicago was my A race I signed up for a flat 20 miler for this weekend. It no longer serves its purpose for some pace work so I'm not doing it. I'm going out to drink mimosas and watch the ravens instead.

[pixy0stix]

I love bro-ing out at the gym. Back day has been destroyed!

ETA: Me at the gym -

[emilyj]

It's currently 94, feels like 104, at almost 4:30pm on September 21st.

Fuck this shit.

[keweenawlove]

Add me to the fuck the weather crew. My phone is saying it's 92. What the hell Chicago.

Also, I'm interviewing for a lab director job at a pretty major place in Boston. I was asked to do a second round Skype interview and it's not for another month. Ugh. I hate feeling like life is in limbo.

[al320]

Yeah it hardly broke 80 all August when i couldnt run. Now that im just started to run again its all 80s and humid.

I really hope it is wrong. I had my first half marathon this past Sunday in michigan and it was warm I don't think that warm but I don't know cause I didn't check and it sucked.

[ilovecandy]

Hi everyone I am back. I ran my half this past weekend and it was not great extremely painful but I finished so yay.

I am trying to meal plan and eat better again it is always a work in progress. Also I have been eating a lot more than normal for me this week is that normal following a half?

I am trying to convince myself to pay for unlimited yoga a month it works out that if I go to 6 classes a month I would break even and I would really like to go to 2 to 3 classes a week for 8 to 12 classes a month. But we haven't completely settled our new budget with the moving and new job and so on so I am hesitant to commit. But I also look at it as an investment in my mental health. So yeh.

[sadlebred]

I am with everyone wanting cooler weather! Just 80. That's normal this time of year. I love 80--not 88 with a heat index in the 90s!

[bostonmichelle]

I'd like it to cool down just a little bit, these almost 90* days are killing me. I'm starting half marathon training on 10/1 and am going to have to do a lot of runs with the stroller in the mornings and I'm really hoping it cools down before then if not I'm going to be in trouble.

[mrs.jacinthe]

We are currently in the 70s and it's started snowing up the hill already. But we'll be back in the 80s again soon, I think.
