Ohio.... I live in Ohio. Explain to me why it was 80º at 5 am? No hyperbole, no stretching the truth. Just 80º. I know you Texas/Florida guys deal with this often, but I am over a 1000 miles north. Negative attitude over :) 

Hot. Wet. But I was determined to get my run in. I was trying to balance miles with MP miles. This was my breakdown. 1-3 Easy, 3-5 SubMP, 5-8 Easyish,  8-10 MP, 10-13 slowish, 13-15 MP, 16-19 Easy, 19-20 a little speed, some hills, some slow and a jump in the river. Saw a few deer in the river and overall satisfied with my week. I am thankful to be back at it this year, long layoffs due to injury make me appreciate be able to get out in run no matter what the conditions.

I used to run in Kentucky during the summer. It's so unlike here in Utah which is a dry heat. Dry heat is definitely easier. You got some big miles in though.. Nice work.

Even if you had fantastic conditions, that is still a great run, brother.Excellent work.

Steve- my in-laws are in KY so I run there at times. You are spot on, the air there is just as heavy and wet. Plus more hills lol.

Tom- Hey thanks! I really want a strong performance in September. We will see.
