It's July in Texas

There really is no need to say anything more, the title says it all if you are a runner in Texas, however, I feel like lamenting.

It's JULY in TEXAS and it is HOT!  We have reached the 100's and I fell like a gooey melted puddle of sweat.

We have been faithful, getting up and getting our run in during the cool temperatures of the early morning, about 80 and 75% humidity.  It isn't easy.  Runs feel sluggish, off pace, frustrating, and yet it's been proven by our training in the past that running in the heat will make us better and faster when the weather shifts to nice cool breezes.

Question is do we really care if we have to run in the heat?  Is it really worth it?  Are we crazy? Do other people do this?

Yes, we care, but we do it anyway.  Yes it's worth it.  Yes we are crazy but we like being crazy. Yes most runners do this and feel the same way.

All that to say 6 miles today, hot hot, but we made it through! YAY.

10 on Saturday YIKES, maybe it will cool down to 78!
