6:15am 69 degrees 91 % humidity

It is suppose to hit 89 today...20 degrees hotter than it is now...shoot me! My only refuge is that I will be working tonight. We haven't turned on the air conditioner in our house yet..Trying to save some money.

I am taking a meteorology class. It is only and if I was actually remembering anything from the class I would be able to tell you what kind of clouds I saw this morning. They maybe stratus clouds--only b/c they looked like stripes in the sky. It was fun run b/c I would get drizzled on in one area and then no rain. And some areas it is super dark and some areas it is light out.

I wish I brought my phone with me, but I usually only take it for long runs when I think I may have to call for help! hahaha.

Any who--good run, no pain. OH and I love how accurate my garmin is. I looked at my map and it even showed when I crossed over the street from the left to the right, so that I could avoid the garbage truck. Cool huh?

Here are my splits--I did one fast part....I was on a roll and there were no hills...I hope Madison isn't hilly!

Great workout, April!

Nice splits, April! Your fast mile is a good bit faster than the "slow" ones; you should certainly feel the difference.

Madison? Yeah, its a bit rolly hilly in general. Not sure about where the run is.

Great run in the heat and the humidity, April! Try to stay cool today.

I cannot get this darned blob, I mean blog, to let me list you as a favorite blog. I'll keep trying. In the meantime, I go to Sno's blog, click on you and get here the long way.

Looks like it was a good run! Good thing you got it out of the way before it got too hot. I'll be running in the early evening, when I'm sure it'll be bad.

Thanks all!

Auntieem--really? Hilly? darn...I should be okay but I won't expect to PR it then Chicago was pretty flat. Madison is all through the city--no out and back! Yippee! I think it is by the university and the zoo...should be fun!

Are you putting in April27?

Tracy--yes very hot--It is my motivation for getting up early--I tell myself run, shower got back to bed (if I want to but usually don't)
