No pictures, but I had my long run of the week this morning. I got up early so the heat wouldn't be too bad. I started about 0800 and it was only 78 degrees. However...the humidity was about 87%.
So, back to the title of the post: You know it's humid when 2/3 of the way through your run, you hear a squishing sound...only to discover that what you're hearing is your shoes - completely soaked - squishing out sweat and leaving footprints behind you on the pavement. Yes, it was that humid!
Fortunately, I was running when some other race was about finished, so many of the water stops were trying to give away their remaining water. I grabbed a couple bottles around mile 9-10 and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I finished!
Here are the stats: (or, check my training log link if you want the real nitty gritty details...)
12.02 mi, 1:51:12, 9:14/mi, AHR-160 bpm
Good run! Now I have to consume gallons of water to re-hydrate, and gallons of coffee to keep me awake to study...
