What did you do?

[JillC LI]

Ankle still seems fine (knock wood). Been doing a long run of 6-7 miles each week (which is about further I can go from sunrise until it is too hot and humid) and two smaller 3.5-4.5 mile runs each week. I wish it was safe to go back to my trail around the lake but it is still too crowded there. Sigh.

Well, I got a little good news. I did not run Monday or Tuesday, due to the heat and humidity. I was afraid I was not going to race
my 80 mile goal for July. I totaled-up my runs since July 1st. I am at 72.83 miles with 3 days, (including today) to go. I think I am
in good shape. Ready to set a new goal for August.

Okay 88 degrees with medium humidity, 3.93 miles last night. Brings my July total to 76.76 miles. I should be over 80 miles tonight.
Next will be 85 miles in August.

Happy dance for this month. I ran 4.27 miles last night. A humid 86 degree run, but it brought my July total to 81.03 miles. Goal met.
Next month I am going to try in increase it to 85 miles.

Did ~3 outside Weds night. Was 87, but at least not tooooo humid.

I am sure we have done this before, but where are we all running? I am currently doing most of my runs in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
I moved from Hampton, New Hampshire at the beginning of the year.

Haven’t run in 3 weeks so despite the oppressive heat (around 90F), I was not going to let my last running day of July be in the first week ... so I did a reasonable 2 miles - kept it slow and kept to the shade.

Same here, today was my first run in three weeks. I have been doing strictly cross training indoors since the temperature decided to go north of 95. Did a respectable 10 minute mile for 5 miles. I impressed myself.

I am running in Columbia, TN

Started off August with 4.93 miles on Saturday & 8.12 miles on Sunday. About 72 miles to go for August.

Strong 4-miler Saturday in oppressive heat and humidity. This is about the time I start to get acclimated to the heat. I was checking my mile times and they were looking really good but my Garmin refused to stop and I lost the data. Oh well.

Our big Labor Day race got cancelled because the city wouldn't allow it. There are a few local September races that haven't been cancelled yet.

It is tough loosing all of the holiday races.

Ran 3.3 miles this evening - it was 30 degrees cooler this evening than when I ran on Friday evening!

Running in a far NW suburb of Chicago in beautiful McHenry County, Illinois.

Had a great run on Saturday to start August. Had an even better day playing baseball yesterday, but unfortunately pounded the balls of my feet (long game, old bad spikes). Perfect weather for running today, but as a mid-foot striker, couldn't do it. Feet too sore. Hope to feel good enough tomorrow to get a quick 3 miles in while temps are moderate.

There is nothing worse than having the “it’s perfect running weather” thought and knowing you aren’t able to go for a run in it.

4.04 miles last night after work. 88 degrees and humid. An occasional breeze came up though, combined with some shade
it made it bearable.

 

[Texas84]

Morning temps dropped from recent mid 70s to mid 60s. Really nice for the AM run. Did the storm do that?

 

[GenerationX]

I got 3 miles in at a wonderful 57 degrees this morning. I had to wear my Hoka's for the extra padding for my feet. Felt good.

 

[OG Runner]

No run last night. I got home, and was thinking about it, but the "hurricane" decided to come through. High winds and heavy rains.
Funny temps are supposed to be back to about 90 today.

I'm in the suburbs of Austin, TX. Hope you didn't have any hurricane damage. My mother on Long Island said power on much of the island is still out. Lots of trees down but luckily not at her home.

Still getting up at 5:45am if I want to run outdoors as most days rise to over 100. Shorter runs are on the treadmill.

I got very lucky. The really bad weather went off to the West of me. High winds and a lot of rain, but no power outages.
I definitely could not deal with that heat either.
