Wait.....what?!!

The dew point this morning was in the 60s.

Really.

Unprecedented.

When I first looked at the weather, I thought that I was misreading it or something.  But no, it was actually not so humid.  There was no sweat pooling at my elbow, for instance.  It was actually pleasant, believe it or not.  I still can't. 

The reason for the better weather is Tropical Storm Bret, which is currently off the east coast of Florida and soaking up a bunch of the humidity. Go Bret!

Today was hills, so I went back to the golf course neighborhood and added another hill.  They went pretty well.  Everything went pretty well.  Much better than normal!

Only one problem: I wore a pair of those little running socks.  I should know better since they almost always cause issues, but I thought that for such a short run, it would be okay.  And now I have blisters on my heels as a result.  With any luck, they won't affect tomorrow's run.  Otherwise, there might be another Curt Schilling incident.

Hills, Florida-style

This morning's workout was 4-6 long hills.  Before you scoff, I did pretty well as far as hills in Florida go, I think:

Florida hill

There is a definite upwardness to the land here.  It's about as hilly as I'm going to get in this part of Florida, I think.  Also, it is conveniently located in the golf course neighborhood across the street and offers some hills on the way there and back from where I parked today.  All in all, I felt like hill training went okay.  Also, I felt like I ran the hills okay, so maybe I learned something while in Pittsburgh.

It was warm, but not as bad as it could have been.  Also, the shade--which is ample, as you can see from the photo--was extremely helpful.
