The dB's, "Barometers, Thermometers"

The Reputation, "Let It Rest"

WX at 0700: 71 (22), DP 62 (17), BP 29.74 (1007), NNW 2 haze, RH 73%

Odometer 3: 61.5mi

Z3-4
Resting heart rate before start = 57 (127/87)

Vindication! It's all in the dewpoint. After seeing the WX readings this morning, I had to run. A week and a half of suck culminates in this...and I can be pretty satisfied with this run.

I'd like to find out why it is that heat kills me that much more than other folks (something I noticed even when 15 years ago, when I was 40 pounds lighter and substantially faster (as in routinely running about a 6:40 race pace at this distance.) It's probably also related to my ability to run in tank top and shorts in races down to about the freezing point. The only time I wore more snivel gear than that was for events where the wind chill was under 32F. Go figure.
